Madeline Regina Willette Memorial Scholarship

 A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

Madeline Regina Willette was more than a coach. She was a mentor, a teacher, and a leader. She was a founding member of the United Age Group Track Coaches Association (UAGTCA), where she helped shape the future of youth track and field in the region. She was also the Head Coach of the Philadelphia Express Track Club, where she inspired countless young athletes to pursue their dreams. And she was an educator in the Philadelphia Archdiocesan School System, where she challenged her students to become well-rounded, critical thinkers.

Madeline passed away in 2009, but her legacy lives on. The UAGTCA established the Madeline Regina Willette Memorial Scholarship in her honor, to recognize and reward students who embody her ideals of excellence, passion, and service.

The scholarship is open to male and female applicants who have competed in either the UAGTCA Meets or the Philadelphia Express Cross-Country Series for at least five years, and who have demonstrated respectable academic knowledge and athletic abilities.

The UAGTCA will award $500 to one male and one female recipient at the Ron Jackson Youth Invitational.

If you share Madeline’s vision of making a positive impact in the world through sports and education, we invite you to apply for this scholarship. You could be the next champion of her legacy!
