The club got to start off October with some fall activities! With the goats, the pumpkins, the corn maze, and and our bellies filled with apple cider donuts- autumn is officially here! Hopefully you didn't get lost in the corn maze, and curtainly not curtain chaos! You can find and put pictures here!

Upcoming Meets:

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.

Sign up is closed

NIRCA Regionals: Come take a historic journey to University of Caitlyn Clark where we will take on NIRCA regionals against all of the track clubs in the great plains region!! This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow cows, as it is a overnight meet! By racing in this meet, you will also qualify for nationals as well! (if you didn't already run Border Battle!)

"Adam Kitay: The Winged Maze Wanderer"

In this moment of reflection, we witness the majestic Adam Kitay spreading his wings in a dramatic yet poignant gesture of surrender. After valiantly navigating the twists and turns of the corn maze, Adam comes to realize that perhaps the labyrinth of maize is not his true calling. With newfound clarity and a focus on speed over strategy, he takes flight, leaving the corn stalks behind in pursuit of new adventures... on solid ground. Will he ever return to the cornfields? Only time will tell.

Message from the Photographer, Liam Beran!

Hey WTC! I have set up a #photographers channel for anyone who's interested in helping out the club (and me) by taking photos at meets. If you're at all interested in doing so, please join the channel; I'll be sending updates for photographers in there going forward. As a reminder, our next meet is Border Battle, which will take place in Verona at 11am, Saturday Sept. 28. Would love to see some of y'all taking pictures there.
