The Wyoming Senate paused Feb. 14, 2025, to honor Maggie Madsen, a sophomore at Cheyenne East High School, who was named the Wyoming Gatorade Player of the Year for cross country. Coach Becky Fournier introduced Madsen and outlined her accomplishments: an undefeated season against Wyoming runners, a 4A state championship victory by 23 seconds, and the fastest 5K time by a Wyoming athlete that year.
Fournier also noted Madsen’s academic standing — third in a class of 364 with a 4.11 weighted GPA — and community involvement, including participation in Girls on the Run, the mayor’s youth council, volunteer work with Needs Incorporated and other service activities. “The two pillars of our cross country program are grit and gratitude,” Fournier said, praising Madsen’s work ethic and community service.
Maggie Madsen addressed the Senate, thanking the institution for the recognition and praising programs that supported her development. She singled out Girls on the Run for building confidence and encouraging teamwork. The president and senators gave Madsen and her coach applause and wished her continued success.
