Maddie McCormick

Incoming sophomore Maddie McCormick has been showing sheep since she was 11 . Her parents thought showing would be a positive influence on her , would help her learn responsibility and meet new people . Her favorite part about showing animals has been the relationships she has had the opportunity to build , whether it be with the animal she raised or spending time with other like-minded people in the community .
Maddie ’ s favorite memories all involve little moments with her peers , such as seeing friends she wouldn ’ t otherwise see , or making new friends each year . She has also loved watching herself improve over her years of showing , and learning all about responsibility and hard work .
Her biggest inspiration throughout her showing career has been her older peers . “ I ’ ve looked up to them since I started and have watched them show up and win every year ,” said Maddie . “ Seeing their showmanship and hard work ethic has given me more motivation .” As she has gotten older , her peers have started to become younger ; though this is added pressure on her to be a role model , it also has pushed her to aim higher towards her goals .
Besides showing , Maddie also is a cheerleader and runs track at Weatherford Christian School .
