Madeline Maruska '15 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations are to finish a successful high school track and gymnastics careers, run track at a Division 1 or 2 school, be at a school where I fit in, and to be happy. I am a good candidate for college track teams because I am very hard working and I always get the job done. I am also a team player, I work well with others and enjoy encouraging on everyone. I am different from other recruits because I have been put through adversity when I tore my ACL and meniscus during my sophomore year of high school. After my injury I learned the true meaning of never giving up. I pushed through and came back to my sports better than I ever was! I am involved in many different activities around my community. All of these activities have helped me become a very balanced person. Some of these accomplishments and awards are:
