Outdoor Practice Update

We're excited to announce that the weather is warming up, and we'll be back at UW's McClimon track for the spring! You can find McClimon at 750 Walnut Street (across the street from the Near West Fields). Sprints and field events will hold workouts there beginning Monday, March 2nd at 5:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Distance events will continue to meet at Union South and then head to McClimon to work out. Tuesday/Thursday sprints and field practices will typically be held at the Near West Fields--keep an eye out week to week for specifics! Feel free to reach out to any of the VPs (Lauren Fligge, Brianna Kiriago,  Sam Moschkau, or Nathan Phillips) with any questions!

Outdoor TRACK SCHEDULE

It's officially time to start outdoor season!! We're so excited to turn left outdoors this season--it's going to be an awesome run of meets! Sign up can be found here. Reach out to meet coordinator Aimon Van Houten with any questions. This is your reminder that you must have signed the NIRCA form in order to race at Nationals. PLEASE sign up to be an authorized driver. The process has changed, and it's pretty easy to be authorized, especially if you're from Wisconsin. We are required to have two authorized drivers per car when we go out of state. You can find information about the process here. 

• St. Norbert Early Bird Meet: This new meet for the Cows is on Saturday, March 28th! Use this meet to get in that seed time for Nationals and scurry on up to beautiful De Pere to open the season strong. Sign up closes Saturday, March 21.
• NIRCA Nationals: Our beautiful friends are NIRCA have blessed us with a track nationals meet within reasonable driving distance of Madison!
