Peak Performance

1st - 17:37.7

FHSAA Class 4A state meet

1st - 16:50.4

Region 3 postseason meet
“Madison Muller simply owned the last five races of the season to establish her superiority in the clutch. Unbeaten against in-state competition during that stretch, the sophomore sensation not only captured her first Class 4A state championship, she set the pace in leading all Florida competitors at the premier national postseason meet, including a runner-up finish at the Brooks South Championships. She’s a fast-rising star in the sport.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-7 sophomore won the FHSAA Class 4A state meet this past season in a time of 17:37.7 to finish 22.6 seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor in leading the Rams to a ninth-place team finish. She broke the tape at the Region 3 postseason meet with a time of 16:50.4, the state’s fastest 5K time of 2025.

Academic Achievement

Muller has maintained a weighted 4.80 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her junior year of high school this fall.

Exemplary Character

Also a First Team All-Area performer in lacrosse, Muller has volunteered locally at the All Faiths Food Bank in Sarasota, packaging food for locals in need. A member of the Rho Kappa Honor Society and the local chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, she also has donated her time performing various tasks at Sarasota County Libraries.
