December Moosletter 2017

December 1, 2017October 5, 2023

For the final and most highly anticipated race of the year, 22 Cows made the venture to East Lansing, Michigan for the 2017 NIRCA National Championship, and they represented the WTC very well. On the men’s side, Matt Kuik lead the way coming in 66th with a time of 26:44. Following him to finish off the top 6 was Evan Routhier (26:52), Evan G. Kohl (27:16), Andre Hessini (27:25), Kevin Dado (27:45), and Brett Jones (27:48). As a team our men took 17th. In the Jr/Sr. race, Izak Oltman and Nathan Orf lead the way running 28:49 and 28:50, respectively. Following not too far behind was Ryan Diedrich (29:12), Nick Feyen (29:33), Jake Reiners (30:08), Jacob Hrubecky (30:10), and Max Carson (32:25). In the Freshmen/Sophomore race Peyton Cummings and Matt Land ran well running 29:55 and 31:19 respectively.

On the women’s side, Allie Levin lead the way running 23:56 for an impressive 34th place finish. Right behind Allie and rounding off the team was was Rissa Lane (24:02), Megan Buechel (24:36), Molly Baus (26:09), and Sara Kaiser (28:40). As a team the women took 20th. Kalazeh Johnson was the only cow representing WTC in the Freshmen/Sophomore race and she did a great job as well!

Thank you to everyone who came to formal. It was a great time celebrating all of the season's accomplishments! Big shout out to everyone who voted for awards and especially to these stunning cows for their accomplishments!

The second annual Cow Mile is set for Friday December 8th at 5:00 pm. This is arguably one of the best events of the year (obviously behind Brinner though). In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of a cow mile, it consists of 4 quarter mile loops all that start with a nice 12 oz. glass of chocolate milk. Last year the inaugural men’s champion was Nathan Orf running 5:52, and the women’s was Hanna Doctor who ran 8:28. As for predictions for this years race, Nathan said that he’ll likely have to work hard for another title as “Evan Routhier is looking like a strong contender in this year's cow mile. He could easily come out on top”. Hanna is hoping we have a better turn out on the Lady Cow side as it is lots of fun! As for making predictions she had a tough time deciding but noted that “Orf churned out an incredible time last year and I'm expecting him to be a front runner. I'm looking forward to seeing Matt throw up again, too.” For all the newcomers who may be nervous, or any returning competitors looking for some pointers, Nathan and Hanna also offered up some words of advice for you all:

Elections are rapidly approaching, and WTC needs you to run for a position! Becoming part of either the elected or appointed board is a great way to get more involved with the club, and it is a great leadership experience! The terms that you will be running for will begin immediately after elections and go until December 2018. Whether it be your 1st season with WTC or your 9th, anytime is a good time to get involved with WTC! If you have any questions please reach out to any of the current or past board members! New this year we have added the Female Vice President of Sprints and Field. Sign up here by December 4th at midnight, and be sure to attend elections on December 5th starting at 8:00 pm in room 180 Science Hall. Even if you are unable to run for a position please come to vote! The club’s future is in your hands and every vote counts! If you are unable to make it to elections due to an academic or work conflict you are able to request an online ballot from Kevin by midnight on December 4th.

Lawrence

Kicking off the month of October races was the Gene Davis Invite held at Lawrence University. We had a small herd of cows braving the rain and dreary day but it was still a good showing by all. On the women’s side, leading the cows to a 4th place finish overall was Madi Pape who came in 6th place with a time of 24:10. Right behind her, and also earning a t-shirt was Allie Levin who came in 9th place with a time of 24:18. Rounding off the scoring team was Kaylee Sadeghpour-Hess (25:25), Zoe Panos (25:38), and Hannah Sorensen (26:13). On the men’s side, the cows were lead by Evan G. Kohl, who came in 14th with a time of 27:29. Right behind him was Brett Jones who ran 27:43 for 18th place. Finishing off the scoring was Matt Kuik (28:11), Matt Ammel (28:13), and Luke Kubasta (28:14). The men also took 4th place.

Kollege Town INvite

A nice herd of cows laced up their hooves for the Kollege Town Invite hosted by UW Oshkosh. On the women’s side, Madi Pape came across the line first with a time of 23:50 and she was followed by Hannah Moulton (24:31), Megan Buechel (24:55), Kaylee Sadeghpour-Hess (25:00), and Hannah Sorensen (25:14). On the men’s side we had Evan Routhier leading the way finishing 55th with a time of 27:06. Following Evan was Matt Ammel (27:20), Evan Kohl (27:25), Brett Jones (27:26), and Brandon Radzom (28:16).

Regionals

Both the men’s and women’s teams came home with a 3rd place finish at regionals this season. On the men’s side we had 24 cows competing and there were many great showings by all. Leading the ways was Dylan Souder earning an All-Regional honor pacing the cows by coming in 3rd with a time of 26:17. Following Dylan was Kevin Dado and Evan Routhier who ran 27:28 and 27:31 respectively. Wrapping up the team score was Matt Kuik and Evan G Kohl (37:38 and 27:59). The women brought 9 fine cows to compete and even with smaller numbers they still proved to be a top contender of the regional. Coming across the line first for the cows was Rissa Lane who placed 3rd, and she was followed by Madi Pape (23:54) and Megan Buechel (24:32) who came in 6th and 9th all earning All-Regional honors. Rounding off the team score was Kaylee Sadeghpour-Hess (26:19) and Molly Baus (26:22).

Coming off two 3rd place finishes puts the cows in a good spot going into the NIRCA National Championship. WTC has a great group of cows representing them this year, go get’em at Nationals Cows! Be on the lookout for the Pre-Nationals Cow Cast as well!

Thanks to Luke Kubasta and Rissa Lane for snapping some great pics of the meet!

Inter-Squad 5k

To kick off the season, the Cows gathered on the Lakeshore path and broke into teams for an inter-squad 5k. On the women’s side, we had Madi Pape coming in first with a time of 19:32, followed by Allie Levin and Hannah Moulton (19:43,19:57). For the men, Evan Routhier came in first with a speedy time of 15:45 and was followed by Matt Kuik and Kevin Dado (16:01, 16:10). Team Buechel, consisting of Megan Buechel, Hannah Sorensen, Molly Baus, Kevin Dado, Matt Ammel, Thomas Miller, Izak Oltman, Sam Brey, and Noah Fetherston, took home the win with a score of 35 points.

Big thank you to Patrick Stiles for getting some great photos of the meet!!

Border Battle

The second meet of the season was the traditional Border Battle, where the Cows faced the University of Minnesota Gophers. It was a very hot day, but we still had some great showings on both the men’s and women’s teams. The male cows were lead by Matt Kuik coming in 3rd place with a time of 33:47, and right behind him in 4th and 5th was Thomas Miller and Kevin Dado (33:59, 34:08). Rounding off the score was Kevin Boyle (35:07) and Gabriel Gozum (35:49), who finished 9th and 12th respectively. The male cows came in 2nd, but it was still a great performance by all.

On the women’s side, the cows swept the gophers continuing their winning streak of the Border Battle by taking places 1-7. They were lead by Madi Pape (40:45), and not too far behind was Rissa Lane (41:15), Megan Buechel (42:42), Allie Levin (42:47), Hanna Doctor (43:36), Hannah Moulton (45:13), and Hannah Mitchell (45:14). The lady cows have a younger squad but with showings like this it should be an exciting season.

Thank you to Luke Kubasta and Cameron Lane-Flehinger for all of the awesome pictures from the meet!!

Roy Griak

The Cows hit the road last weekend for the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Mn. Big thank you to all the families who housed the team over the weekend, and a very big thank you to Rachel Anderson’s family, who hosted the team for a scrumptious pasta feed! It was a very hot day outside and Griak is the toughest course on the schedule, but despite these challenges, the cows still laid down some good performances. The lady cows won in the Club Team division, taking down Minnesota once again. Leading them was Hannah Mitchell coming in 101st (24:43), and she was followed by Rissa Lane (25:17), Hannah Moulton (25:57), Megan Buechel (26:50), and Stephanie Rink (26:53).

On the men’s side Matt Kuik lead the squad coming in 45th with a time of 27:05. Following him was Kevin Dado (27:49), Evan Routhier (28:50), Jack Prazich (28:56), and Andre Hessini (29:00). Great job to everyone who braved the heat and hills, looks like the cows will be having a great season!

ACT (Achieving Collaborative Treatment) is a program that helps children with autism and other spectrum disorders and WTC helps them by going for runs with the kids!
