Elected Officers

PRESIDENT:
Brian Wiedenfeld
email: bwiedenfeld@wisc.edu
Howdy Cows! I’m Brian and I am your President of WTC. I’m a Senior from Menomonee Falls, WI and studying Agricultural and Applied Economics here at UW. Next fall, I will begin my Master's in Urban and Regional Planning. Joining track club has been the best decision I made in college and I am ready to make new memories, while running some fast times. When I’m not running with the herd, you’ll probably find me reading a book, gardening or learning to play guitar (I gave up on harmonica). I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of new cows at socials and practices. Let me know if you have any questions about the club! #CowsAchieve

VICE PRESIDENT OF MEN'S DISTANCE:

Hey there cows! I'm Jacob, returning new vice president of men’s distance and I can't wait for the upcoming season. I'm a Junior from Germantown, Wisconsin and am studying Civil Engineering here at Madison. I prefer running longer distances so I love cross country and do 5ks for track season. Outside of running I enjoy backpacking, fishing, biking, being outside and watching Netflix. Let me know if you have any questions!
