A special shoutout goes to Michael Fink for breaking the meet record and individually winning shot put with a throw of 14.01m. Additionally, the women's 3k was one of the most succesful events, as all three athletes finished with major PRs.

Authorized Drivers

With larger meets such as Nationals coming up, we NEED more authorized drivers. Every car needs two authorized drivers to be able to travel. On our website, visit the "About" tab and select "Membership". If you scroll down, Step 7 outlines in detail how to become an authorized driver. It doesn't take long to do, and it would help us all out (especially Hanna, Matt, & Evan)!

Valentines Day 5k

6 cows represented WTC in running club's Valentine's Day 5k on saturday. There were two teams that competed: Cierra Haupert / Ryan Diedrich (aka Mr. Prez), and Megan Buechel / Matt Kuik.  Madi Pape and Morgan Sanger also competed! Madi placed first in the women's competition. Matt and Megan, or team "Fast Zooms" won the co-ed division by over 2 minutes. While Cierra and Ryan didn't win, their team name, "Barack & Michelle" was deserving of its own prize.

A lot of potential cows stopped by our booth at the org fair and expressed interest in joining the club. Keep an eye out for new members at practice and make sure they feel included and welcome!

Kick-off Meeting

The kick-off meeting was also successful despite our secretary (me) being unable to secure a room with an HDMI hook up. Since we couldn't go through the powerpoint at the meeting, here is a link if you'd like to take a look at it. If you were not able to sign the required waiver for Nationals, please contact Evan Routhier (erouthier@wisc.edu) to set up a time when you can do so.
