Before ever stepping onto the court at Kentucky, incoming Wildcats freshman guard Maddyn Greenway has added another major honor to her remarkable résumé.

The Providence Academy standout was named the 2025-26 MaxPreps Female National Athlete of the Year after a historic high school career that saw her dominate basketball, soccer, and track and field.

“Being named like National Athlete of the Year it just means a lot, I think to be recognized not only in one sport but you know the multitude of all of the hard work that I have put in over the years and throughout all of my sports, you know, it means a lot and I think I will speak to be recognized for something like you know not a lot of people knew that I did these other sports kind of recently so to be recognized for my efforts in all of that was really cool,” Greenway tells Aaron Williams of MaxPreps.

The future Wildcat leaves Providence Academy as a 13-time state champion, including five straight basketball titles, two soccer championships, and six track and field crowns. She finished her basketball career with 5,621 points, the Minnesota state record and the third-highest total in national high school history. Greenway also set state records with 1,186 assists and more than 1,100 rebounds.

“Just the history of MaxPreps and all of the great athletes that they have recognized in the past. It is really cool,” Greenway said. “To be recognized among them was super cool.”

A McDonald’s All-American and gold medalist with Team USA, Greenway is ranked by 247 Sports Composite as a 5-star prospect, the No. 8 player nationally, the No. 2 point guard, and the No. 1 player in Minnesota.

Providence Academy girls basketball coach Conner Goetz believes Greenway’s impact will stretch far beyond the record books.

“I think in 10 years down the line, 20 years down the line, I think you’re going to see a legacy that she kind of built for the younger generation of girls,” Goetz said.

Now, Greenway heads to Lexington looking to continue that legacy at Kentucky.
