Madisyn Cantrell a senior at Rock Springs High School in Rock Springs Wyoming has committed to and is ready to play for the Western Wyoming Community College Women’s soccer team.

Madi has been an integral part of the RSHS Lady Tiger’s Soccer team that has shown improvement and is earning respect across the state during her high school career. RSHS has qualified for the Wyoming 4A State Cup the last 2 years and are determined to make it three years in a row this spring.  We expect Madi to help lead the Lady Tigers to new heights in the Cowboy State.

Cantrell earned a place on the 4A 2nd Team All State and 4A West 1st Team All Conference her junior and sophomore year.  2015, Madi’s junior year, she was an All Conference forward and her sophomore season, 2014, she was named All Conference as a midfielder.

In her 3-year high school career Madi has scored 16 goals and tallied 4 assists for the Tigers.  As a junior she found the back of the net 10 times.  As a player, Madisyn is a great combination of speed and determination.  Cantrell’s skills helped RSHS almost pull off what would have been the upset of the tournament in the 2015 4A Wyoming State Cup in the first round versus the eventual champions, Cheyenne East.  Because of Madi’s ability the CEHS girl’s team was so stretched out that they could not keep defensive pressure on RSHS and it limited their chances.  This game would go to overtime between the #1 team in the state and the lowest seeded team in the tournament.  We at Western believe that Madi will do a great job for the Mustangs as a forward who possesses speed and continues to work on her finishing and she has the willingness to play other positions like an outside midfielder or even an outside defender.  The next two years should be full of excitement and highlights for Madisyn and the Mustangs.
