Running. It’s not only what Rochester’s Madilyn Calloway is good at but, to many, what she’s known for. And it’s that ability she’ll add to her academic efforts at the next level following her recent graduation.
Calloway started her school career in the Northwestern school system. She made the move to Rochester in 4th grade. By 7th grade, she started running. Little did she know what it would lead to.
Now after visits to state competition along with a strong academic career that led to her being named valedictorian of her class and an all-academic athlete, Calloway will soon be at Lewis College in Romeoville to continue both.
Calloway says the immediate impact of graduation may be tougher on her family. Although the inevitable end may have helped to solidify her class in the final days.
As far as running, Calloway looks forward to the challenge of competing at the next level.
For the academics, the Rochester valedictorian took awhile to find her direction.
