Bio
At VU, Madison “Mads” Senne has set ambitious goals for herself and her teammates. Individually, she hopes to break 20 minutes in the 5K or get as close as possible, while for the team she wants everyone to qualify for Regionals. Known for her positivity, she says people often think she is “nice” when they first meet her, but she admits she has a quiet determination and a competitive edge that drives her forward. She is motivated by the satisfaction of seeing hard work pay off and guided by the advice to “take each day one moment at a time.”
Outside of athletics, Madison is pursuing General Studies while planning for a career as a sonographer, specifically working with expecting mothers. She enjoys horseback riding, hiking, shopping, and gaming — especially playing The Sims 4. She also describes herself as a family-oriented person who can’t imagine a week without her dog, Gus, and loves to spend time with her younger sisters, Evelyn and Lyla. Her favorite foods are steak and popcorn, and she dreams of one day visiting Italy. She admires Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and says if she could break any record, it would be the 400m world record.
Madison chose Vincennes University because of the supportive coaching staff, the closeness of campus to home, and its affordability. With her competitive drive, sense of humor, and belief in perseverance, she is eager to make her mark as a Trailblazer both on the course and on the track.
