Madelyn Kennett '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Madelyn Kennett and I am a 5’6 utility player/pitcher. I aspire to play softball at the collegiate level. I started playing softball when I was five years old. I quickly fell in love with the game. However, during a game I dove back into third and broke my hand. This was a lesson in softball and a true testament of how much I love the game, because I continued to play. From this experience I learned to be tough, resilient, and how to overcome obstacles. I have become dedicated to the game year-round in all aspects of softball. I am very focused on my goals and have worked hard to understand the game, and that has gotten me to where I am today. 

In addition to softball, academics are also a priority to me. I want to attend a college that will challenge me academically as well as one that helps me down a path to pursue a promising career. The medical field is where my interests lie in choosing a future career. In high school, I am enrolled in honors and advanced classes with a 3.9/4.0 GPA. School has taught me important lessons that can also be applied to softball, such as working hard, helping others, and being mentally tough. In both school and softball, I am extremely competitive, I am in the top five of my class and I strive to be at the top of my game. I am not only a strong academic candidate but also an athlete who is highly coachable, competitive, and a team player, that will no doubt add value to your school.
