She was second on the team with a .625 slugging percentage, 28 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. Mady hits the ball with such velocity that many teams were unable to field her hits. Both the coaches and players felt very confident that something positive and productive was about to happen when Mady stepped to the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond her stats, Mady was also a strong leader on the team. She set a good example by working extremely hard every single day, whether it was at practice or during a game. No one went home dirtier than she did. She sacrificed her body both at shortstop and on the bases, always trying to do whatever she could to help her team win.<\/p>\n<p>She also cheered her teammates on, helped out a lot with team communication (helping the 7th grade girls learn &#8220;the ropes&#8221;), and was always one of the first to volunteer to help set up equipment for practice and games.<strong> &#8212; Coach Lori Koester<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20160 additional-class\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2078\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-scaled.jpg 2078w, https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-244x300.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-831x1024.jpg 831w, https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-768x946.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-1247x1536.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/www.thexradio.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MWyckoff-Sept-AOTM-XC-Ervin-1662x2048.jpg 1662w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2078px) 100vw, 2078px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maddux Wyckoff- JH Cross Country (8th Grade)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maddux turned what he considered a disappointment last season into motivation, using it as fuel to train with relentless dedication over the summer\u2014without missing a single run. That commitment is paying off in a big way. This year, he has stepped up as our number two runner, already shattering his personal record from last season and earning medals along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Maddux has set ambitious goals for himself, and I have no doubt he will achieve them. In my three years of coaching him, I\u2019ve never seen him more focused, disciplined, and determined. He is a shining example to our younger athletes of what\u2019s possible when you put in the work and believe in yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Even while managing a recent injury, Maddux continues to show up every day with a positive attitude, completing every workout we assign to aid his recovery and refusing to let setbacks define him. His resilience, leadership, and unwavering commitment make him truly deserving of this recognition.<strong> &#8212; Coach Nancy Ervin<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Effingham Athletic Department runs an Athlete of the Month program every month.
