Meet the MASRC Indigenous Athlete of the Month: Madison Richard!

November 18, 2024

We are excited to announce Madison Richard as our November Athlete of the Month! A proud member of Shuswap First Nation, Madison has proven herself to be an exceptional athlete, leader, and role model both on and off the volleyball court.

Madison's dedication and focus as an athlete are truly inspiring. As a key player for Miles Macdonnell Collegiate's Varsity Volleyball Team, Shock Volleyball Club's U18 Team, and Team Manitoba volleyball, she has shown tremendous skill and leadership. Madison was a vital part of the U16 Team Manitoba Volleyball Team that earned a second-place finish at the 2023 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG). Her commitment to the sport continues into 2024, as she has earned a spot on Team Manitoba for the Canada Cup.

Off the court, Madison is just as committed to making a positive impact. Despite her busy training and travel schedule, she has devoted time to giving back to her community. Madison has been actively involved in youth baseball, stepping up to help with coaching, and works as a lifeguard instructor, inspiring other youth with her leadership and positive attitude.

Madison's passion for learning and service extends beyond athletics. Madi is looking forward to playing volleyball at the U-Sports level and will be entering into the department of environmental science where she hopes to continue making a difference in her community and beyond.

Madison's achievements, work ethic, and dedication to both her sport and community make her an incredible role model and a deserving choice for November Athlete of the Month. Congratulations, Madison, and thank you for being an inspiration to us all!
