Lake Michigan Open: On Saturday, February 1, the Cows headed to UW-Parkside for this year's new meet and season kickoff! They ran fast and had a great time doing it. In an incredible rust-buster, nine Cows cracked the WTC all-time indoor list! Sam Culwell's 200m time was good for 4th on the all time list, and Lauren Fitzsimmons moo-ved to 3rd all time in the mile. Claire Matthai took 9th all time in the 3000m in her WTC indoor debut, and Alex McDowell and Jacob Rhodes jumped (literally) to 8th place on our all time high jump list! Caleb Rocha cracked 6th all time in triple jump and Audrey Seefield tied 3rd all time in the long jump. Mason Weber took 2nd all time in the 3000m and Maya Winfield took 8th all time in the same event! Special thank you to our new sponsor, Bubbl'r, for the fuel at Lake Michigan, and our Photography Lead, Elliot Grodsky, for all the pictures! Photos can be found here and results can be found here.

Moments with milkerz
This week was filled with moo-gical WTC moments! First, I came to work with my friends Addison and Nora, and sold tons of moo-sical tickets. Then, I got to hang out at the Org Fair, which was super fun, and I even helped to recruit over 80 email list sign-ups! I think people were drawn in by my cuteness and charm. After the Org Fair, I ventured to the beautiful Moo-sse Humanities building and saw all of my friends at the Spring Kickoff Meeting! We ate lots of pizza, and I learned so much about what's coming up this season. I even got to defy gravity! I can't wait to see all my human cow friends at some meets this semester! See you next week, and until then I am,
Moodily,
Milkerz
