Madeline Foster Female Gamer of the Week Honors
Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc and The Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week’s Female Gamer of the Week to junior, Madeline Foster of Winfield High School.
Madeline Foster is a junior at Winfield High School and is a member of the girls’ varsity swim team. “Maddie Foster is a leader in and out of the pool. She is humble, kind, and always willing to help her teammates. Her will and determination to work hard at every practice is a motivating force to push the entire team to want to work hard,” said Coach Mike Bordenet. She has been making a name for herself the last three years. Last year she placed second in the 500 Free (5:16) and first in the 100 Fly (58.70) at Regionals and at the state meet she placed second in the 500 Free (5:07) and the 100 Fly (57.99). She hopes to return to states again this year and hopes that her relay team can go as well.
Maddie started swimming when she was in elementary school and has been swimming ever since. She is currently ranked in the top five in the state in several individual events including the 50 Free (5th, 25.33), 200 Free (4th, 2:00.46), 500 Free (1st, 5:12), 100 Breast (4th, 1:12), 100 Fly (4th, 49.87), and 200 IM (3rd, 2:15). In her latest meet, the WV Wild MLK Invitational, she placed second in the 50 Free (25.33), first place in the 100 Breast (1:14.39), and she was a member of the 200 Medley Relay which placed 2nd (2:19).
Maddie is thankful for her parents. They have been a role model in her life and have always been there for her. Outside of swimming for Winfield High School, Maddie also swims for her club team, the WV Wild. She is a member of National Honors Society, Key Club, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She plans to swim in college and is interested in possibly pursuing a career in business.
