Meet Jacqueline! An Ottawa native and member of the Gryphon T&F sprints group. Jacqueline initially came to Guelph for soccer after playing the sport competitively her whole life. In grade 11 she decided to try out for the track team, and the rest is history. Now in her third year, Jacqueline is finding great success in the sport and continues to push herself out of her comfort zone to grow as a human being and athlete. Every day I get to train and surround myself with some... of the best athletes in the country while also having a great coaching staff. These are just some things I never thought I would be doing in university and it is all happening because of Gryphon T&F. - Jacqueline Madogo Performance highlights: USports: 2020 National Runner Up, 60m OUA: 2020 Provincial Runner Up, 60m Personal Best: 7.33s (60m) SWIPE through to get to know Jacqueline!
