Message from the Webmaster:

Hey cows! Since there are so many new members in the Slack, I wanted to share a tip about notifications. If you have no problems with Slack notifications, feel free to disregard this message. But it's been an issue in the past that some people won't receive channel notifications even after clicking all the buttons to enable them, so if this is you, you can try this workaround:
  1. Click on your profile picture in the corner
  2. Go to Notifications (or on desktop, Preferences -> Notifications)
  3. Under My Keywords, copy and paste this list of common English words: the,  be,  to,  of,  and,  a,  in,  that,  have,  I,  it,  for,  not,  on,  with,  he,  as,  you,  do,  at,  this,  but,  his,  by,  from,  they,  we,  say,  her,  she,  or,  an,  will,  my,  one,  all,  would,  there,  their,  what,  so,  up,  out,  if,  about,  who,  got,  which,  go,  me,  when,  make,  can,  like,  time,  no,  just,  him,  know,  take,  people,  into,  year,  your,  good,  some,  could,  them,  see,  other,  than,  then,  now,  look,  only,  come,  its,  over,  think,  also,  back,  after,  use,  two,  how,  our,  work,  first,  well,  way,  even,  new,  want,  because,  any,  these,  given day,  most,  us,  reminder,  hi
By default, you should receive notifications for any message that includes one of your keywords, and with this list that should be just about every message (although you can still adjust preferences for individual channels). Let me know if you have any questions!

Upcoming Meets:

Border Battle: Join us for our home meet and help the WTC compete to be the best of the midwest! By running in this race, it will also qualify you for Nationals if you cannot run regionals! The border battle is a perfect way to try racing for WTC and against other NIRCA teams, as there's no travel needed! Come race and help us defend the border!

Warrior Invitational: Join us to become two peat champions and try to remain the undefeated, undisputed champions of the Warrior Invitational! ! This is a great opportunity to race against D3 schools in West Allis- which is only about an hour drive away! According to Moses Nettles JR. who is a premier google level 7 local guide, "Tons of space for food, games, bounce house and clean bathrooms." So bring your Bouncy House and lets defend our trophy! ! ! 😤

Gene Davis: Come take a journey to the Big Apple(ton) and  enjoy the scenic Fox River as you race at the pristine grounds Lawrence University! (or maybe Reid municipal golf course instead) This will be the fastest course of the season and is a great opportunity to race against other D3 schools in the area! This meet is also only two hours away from Madison and you might run into Willem Dafoe... or see the ghost of Harry Houdini.
