COLUMBUS — Madison Wolfe made quite a splash last week.

The Columbus Olentangy High School senior swimmer set team records in the 100 backstroke (59.81 seconds) and as the backstroke leg of the 200 individual medley (1:54.12) during the Ned Reeb Invitational in the McCorkle Center at Ohio State.

Wolfe — who already owns five team records — improved on her team record in the 100 backstroke in the consolation final.

For her efforts, she was selected as a Columbus Dispatch “Athlete of the Week.”

Madison is the daughter of former Ironton basketball standout and Olentangy athletic director Jay Wolfe and the granddaughter of Jan and John Wolfe of Ironton.

Jay is also a former assistant basketball coach at Ohio University and a former head basketball coach at Capital University.
