Maddyn Greenway Named 2025-26 MaxPreps Female National Athlete of the Year
Maddyn Greenway has been named the 2025-26 MaxPreps Female National Athlete of the Year.
A Kentucky basketball signee, the 5-foot-10 Greenway squeezed everything she could from her high school sports career.
She leaves Providence Academy as a 13-time state champion while owning the state scoring mark in both basketball and soccer. She also broke state marks in her final days as a prep athlete in the 300-meter hurdles and as the as the anchor leg of the 4×400 relay team.
The three-sport athlete and daughter of former NFL linebacker Chad Greenway takes her place on the stage alongside previous MaxPreps Female National Athlete of the Year winners likes Bueckers, Joyce Edwards, Olympians Missy Franklin and Alex Shackell, as well as Chiney and Nneka Ogwumike (to name just a few)
Greenway owns the state basketball scoring mark at 5,621 points and is third all-time nationally in the history of the sport according to the MaxPreps National Record Book.
She also holds the state assist mark with 1,186 and the point guard ended her six-year career with more than 1,100 rebounds. She won gold while representing the United States and was a McDonald’s All American.
“I’m not always so high strung and so competitive, but the moment I step between the lines, I don’t have any friends and I want to just really go out and win,” she said. “A lot of people when they talk to me, they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so much nicer than we expected.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, well I’m not really nice on the court because I want to win.” But the moment I step off of it …”
Yet, she is also fiercely aware of fostering relationships among her teammates and embracing the leadership mantle — a role similar to being an older sister, she said.
“I hope my teammates would say I’m obviously a good leader and competitor. I think I really try and bring the best out of my teammates through practice and just really celebrating the little wins with the younger kids,” Greenway said. “I just really try to bring us all together and kind of be that really outgoing and fun captain.”
