Madeline Runnels '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Madi Runnels and I am a 5’10” shooting guard/small forward from Johnson City, Tennessee.  I will graduate in the class of 2020 and hope to play college basketball.  I grew up playing club soccer, which I played through the eighth grade. My freshman and sophomore years I attended Providence Academy.   On the court, I earned honors as Best All-Around Player and was added to the All-Region team as a freshman.  As a sophomore, I received the Best Offensive Player award and again was named to the All-Region team.  Providence Academy participates in the National Association of Christian Athletes tournament.  As a freshman I was named NACA “New Comer of the Year”, and NACA All-American as a sophomore. 

As a Junior, I transferred to Boone High School in Gray, Tennessee.  I started every game of the season.  Our team made it to the Regional Playoffs and I was named to the All-District Team.  I have continued to maintain my grade point average, with a cumulative GPA of 3.945.   From 8^th through 10^th grade I played for the Tennessee Chosen Few AAU team, coached by Damon Johnson.  This spring, I will play for the Lady Copperheads based in Knoxville, Tennessee and coached by Deshaud Johnson.  I am excited about my opportunities with this new organization.

I have continued to participate in soccer as well, earning All-District honors in the fall of 2018.

I enjoy learning about science and I aspire to work in the healthcare field in the future, possibly as a nurse.
