Born with success in her bloodline, Madison Malagueno has continuously represented her hometown of Mackay in a multitude of sports and has just secured another outstanding achievement to add to her collection of accolades.
Growing up, Madison was much a water baby and according to one of her biggest supporters and mother Tahnie Malagueno, who is also the secretary of the club, says her daughter Madison has “always loved swimming ever since she was a baby.”
While she finds enjoyment and fun in the sport, Madison began to swim on a more serious level in October 2021 and has since been recognised for her standout skills and performance in the pool.
At just 12 years of age, Madison has made the town proud by claiming a spot in the final at the 2024 School Sport Australia Swimming Championships.
The event was held on the Gold Coast during the 25th to 27th of July, where she placed 9th in the country for 50m Freestyle.
Her relay team then went on to podium in the 50m Freestyle Relay, bringing home a national medal.
Madisons mother Tahnie says she enjoyed the competition and her success was achieved by not just her remarkable skill but also the training she willingly commits herself to behind the scenes.
Madison has an intense training schedule and trains up to two hours per day, except on Sundays. When she’s not training for swimming, she’s eagerly getting herself involved in various other activities and sports as well as perfecting her skills and chasing the next best achievement. In a testament to her dedication, Madison has been recognised for all of her involvements in sport at a state level.
With an overwhelming sense of love for sport, Madisons outstanding determination and hard work has paid off, however, she won’t be slowing down anytime soon. With plans to excel even further, she hopes to one day podium at the nationals and eventually compete in the Olympics.
