Schadler has maintained a 4.56 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete on an athletic scholarship at the University of Washington this fall.
A member of the National Honor Society and the Rotary International Interact Club, Schadler has volunteered locally on behalf of the Rich River Athletics Club. "I have yet to meet and to know a finer student, citizen, and athlete than Miss Allie Schadler," said Jeff Messer, the Exercise Science Department Chair at Mesa Community College. "Her athletic accomplishments are both incredibly prolific and extremely well-documented. Less well-recognized are the selfless character, peerless commitment, uncompromising dedication, and relentless competitiveness that characterize her as an exceptional individual."
