Maddy Gustafson: hails from Holland, Michigan. She graduated from Zeeland West High School with a 4.28 GPA. Madeline is currently enrolled at Michigan’s college for Literature Science and the Arts with plans to pursue a degree in biochemistry. She also has Cerebral Palsy. Although she participated in cheerleading and running groups in middle school, her high school did not offer adaptive athletics, leaving her unable to compete or pursue athletic endeavors.
