Maddy Houghton, Sports Editor
Madalyn Houghton, a seasoned third-year Broadcast Journalism student editor, is eagerly counting down the days till graduation.

When she’s not busy being a “sports superstar,” she works at the Newbury Village Store perfecting the art of small-town multi-tasking. Speaking of multi-tasking, Houghton also juggles various ‘full-time jobs’ including a Master Lego Car Builder and serving her unprepared friends as “Team Mom.” You’ll also find her whipping up indulgent baked goods, schooling you on the basketball court, working with the Student Council and National Honors Society, or spending time with friends and family. After graduation, Houghton plans to attend a four-year college with hopes of adding the title Athletic Trainer to her resume.
