Who is Bo Nickal's wife, Maddie Nickal?

December has been an eventful month for the Nickal family as the athletic couple celebrated their third wedding anniversary and the birth of their first son just weeks apart.

Bo Nickal and his wife, Maddie, got married in 2020 after meeting at Penn State University where they were both Division I athletes. Nickal was a credentialed wrestler while his future wife — who was then known as Maddie Holmberg — was a member of the school's track and field team.

Since graduating from the school, Maddie Nickal has returned to the track and field program as a volunteer assistant coach.

Maddie Nickal has now devoted her time to being a nutrition coach and dietician for former female athletes like herself.
