One of Coupeville’s brightest athletic stars has landed her next gig.
While Madison McMillan still has two more seasons of high school sports to finish, with basketball underway and softball beckoning in the spring, the CHS senior has signed a letter of intent to play college ball afterwards.
The power-hitting third baseman is slated to join the softball program at Edmonds College, with the Tritons making the announcement on their Instagram page.
Madison McMillan, granddaughter of Gordon McMillan and Nancy Conard, is a standout student and athlete who also happens to be a remarkable young woman in all aspects.
As part of a tight-knit group of female athletes who have played together since elementary school, she is one of the foremost faces of the CHS Class of 2025.
McMillan has had a major impact on the volleyball court, as a hoops star, and as a diamond dandy, with her playing both high school and travel ball in the latter pursuit.
She and her fellow seniors sparked the Wolf volleyball program to its best season in school history this fall.
With McMillan and company working as a unit, CHS was undefeated until the final day of the season, went 18-2, won league and bi-district titles, and captured 4th place at the 2B state tourney.
While the Wolf warrior sparkles in every one of her pursuits, softball is the sport where she has arguably had the biggest impact.
Whether drilling home runs over the fence, turning on the wheels to get an extra base in crunch time, or whipping a frozen rope across the field to nail a runner, McMillan is, as they said in O Brother, Where Art Thou, “bonafide.”
Edmonds hit a grand slam with this signing.
A class act.
