Madi came back from an ankle injury earlier this year to grab a spot on the team.

“I’m just trying to look at the positive, and it’s better that it’s happened now than the summer or something like that,” she said at the time. “It’s nothing like major, so I know I can come back stronger and I’ll be ready for all the meets coming up.”

Months later at the Secret Classic in June, she posted the second-highest score on her favorite event: “I think it’s a huge confidence boost knowing that I’ve been in such a big stage in competition and I handled myself very well there.”
