Coaches and Club Officers – 2024 - Wisconsin Track Club

Tommy Dougherty
President
tmdougherty@wisc.edu
Hey cows! I’m Tommy, your WTC president for 2024. I am a junior from California studying computer science. As a sprinter who loves taking on new challenges, I’ve explored 32 different track events (current PR is 12 events in one meet) and even run cross country – so feel free to ask questions about any of them! My favorite track club tradition is our dynamic variation of the cow. Whether it be cow-print clothes, a milk mile, or moo-ing to cheer on teammates, the cow never fails to bring us together. Outside of the herd, you can find me grazing a field, lifting weights, or conquering Mt. Mendota. Track club has been the main highlight of my college journey, and I am excited to share that experience with all of you this year. Cows achieve!

Emma Hudson
Vice President of Women's Distance

Hi cows! My name is Emma Hudson and I am a junior from Minnesota studying Chemical Engineering and Psychology. Outside of running, I love hiking, being outdoors, and spending time with friends. WTC is the best decision I have made in college, and I am so excited to give back to the club as a VP. I cannot wait for all of the fun practices and socials planned this year. Please feel free to reach out with any questions of comments- I’d love to chat!

Jaecan Fratzke
Vice President of Men's Sprints/Field
jfratzke@wisc.edu
Hey guys. My name is Jaecan Fratzke, I am currently a junior majoring in biochemistry with a side gig in athletic healthcare. I am from Minnesota and going into my third year with the track club. As Men's Sprints VP obviously I’m a fan of the short sprints and long jump, but may dabble with the 400. Outside of track I enjoy anything athletic, social, and very occasionally school. I look forward to being VP, so reach out if you have any questions.

Brenden Dieter
Treasurer
bdieter@wisc.edu
Hey guys, I’m Brenden, and I’m a junior from Oregon, Wisconsin studying actuarial science. My hobbies include reading books and watching sports and movies. But of course, my favorite hobby of all is running! I prefer short and middle distance like the 400/800 meters, but I enjoy cross country as well. Wisconsin Track Club has been a great way for me to continue doing my favorite things, and I’m excited to give back as the treasurer and provide the same opportunity!

Alex Marrione
Meet Coordinator
amarrione@wisc.edu
Hi everyone! I’m Alex and I am a junior from Middleton, WI studying chemical engineering. As meet coordinator, I am here to make sure everyone has a smooth, enjoyable experience racing. Obviously, like many of you I enjoy running especially with the club. My hobbies include hiking, playing the trumpet (retired), watching TV and movies and spending time with friends. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding racing with WTC!

Jenna Auth
Volunteer Coordinator
jgauth@wisc.edu
Hey, cows! I’m Jenna and I’m stoked to be your volunteer coordinator! I’m a sophomore from Pepin, Wisconsin studying sociology. I joined WTC a year ago and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made so I’m excited to have this opportunity to give back to the club! Off the track, I love music, dancing, making people laugh, messing around with my camera, and being in the outdoors. If you have any questions about volunteering through WTC please don’t hesitate to reach out. Cows achieve!

Jacob Alejandro
Webmaster
alejandro2@wisc.edu
Hey everyone! I'm Jacob, a freshman from Brookfield, Wisconsin, studying computer engineering. Besides running, I enjoy lifting at the Bakke, hanging out with friends, and staying busy with fun coding projects. Joining track club was a great way to keep up some good training and racing while making some amazing friends, and I'm excited to contribute as your webmaster this year. Let me know if you have any questions or website suggestions, and I look forward to seeing everyone at practice! Cows achieve!

Liam Beran
Photographer
lberan@wisc.edu
Hi cows! My name is Liam Beran, and I’m excited to be one of our club photographers for this year. I’m a junior year student majoring in English alongside a certificate in French, and I’m an editor for one of the student papers on campus. I transferred from UW-Oshkosh to UW-Madison in the spring 2023 semester, and joining WTC was one of the best ways I started to feel at home on my new campus. When I’m not running, I love to spend time reading, taking photos or going to coffee shops. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Sabina Dayal | Sprints coach

Hi! My name is Sabina Dayal and I’m very excited to be coaching the sprints/jumps for WTC. I started doing track 16 years ago and it’s been my favorite sport ever since. I went to UC Santa Barbara for undergrad where I competed on their track team as a long and triple jumper. I love animals and am currently a graduate student in the Veterinary Medicine program here at UW Madison. Some of my other hobbies are hiking, camping, and weightlifting! I am really happy to be a part of WTC and looking forward to an awesome season!

Matt Cooper | Virtual coach

Hi cows, My name is Matt Cooper and I operate as a virtual coach for the distance squad. I’ve been running competitively for over 16 years and enjoy passing down my coaching knowledge to others. With a background in exercise science and personal training, I strive to blend traditional run training with supplementary strength and mobility work. This allows athletes to compete at their best while staying healthy in the sport. I like to coach because I enjoy helping others discover their love of running and reach their goals. Providing this sense of direction, guidance, and inspiration for others is incredibly rewarding. Let’s have a great season!

Duncan Lawler | High Jump coach

Hey cows! My name is Duncan Lawler and I am thrilled to be your high jump coach. I’m a sophomore from Ladd, Illinois, and I am majoring in chemical engineering. I’ve been high jumping for 9 years now and am incredibly grateful for the opportunity WTC has given me to continue this passion. When not with my fellow cows, I am likely playing basketball, soaking up the outdoors, or making memories with friends. I’m excited to share my love for this event with other cows, and I can’t wait to see what this year will bring. Cows achieve!
