Parkside Classic

The cows battled some rough winter weather to compete at UW-Parkside this weekend. There were some strong performances on both the male and female side. Autumn Wickman took second place in the 600m, finishing in 1:47. In the 800m, Madi Pape won with a time of 2:16. For field events, Eleni Tongas competed successfully in the high jump, taking second place. 

The mile was a huge success for the WTC males, as Evan Routhier, Evan Kohl, and Kevin Dado finished in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. In field events, John Cioffredi placed second in the high jump. 

Special shoutout to Madi Pape for being the ONLY female to compete in the 3k (and smiling every lap of the way)! Congratulations to everyone who competed!

Congrats to all the cows who competed at Nationals this weekend in East Lansing! It was a chilly day but the cows didn't let that slow them down.

It’s time to prep those fancy dancing hooves, because WTC Formal is right around the corner!

After the herd has filled up on the buffet options, we’ll be stampeding over to the Cow House (505 West Dayton Street) for dancing and festivities. The deadline to sign up for the premier social event of the semester is November 12th, so you better think of who you want to bring along to Formal (you can also attend on your own though)!

END OF SEMESTER

This week is the last of classes before finals, so the end of the track season is pretty near. However, that doesn't mean Track Club isn't active! Make sure to stay updated through the Facebook page and Herdfinder for information about the Summer Track Series, local running partners, the Movin 5k, and any other activities that club members may be organizing!

 

POST FINALS WISCONSIN DELLS TRIP

A post-finals trip to Wisconsin Dells is being discussed as a possible club activity. We would be driving to the Dells on one morning, staying the night, and returning the next day (at least, thats the plan for now). If you are interested, please vote on the Facebook page for which dates work for you!

UPCOMING: MOOVIN 5K

This year's Moovin 5k will be held on June 3rd. We encourage any and all members to volunteer, participate, and force family and friends to run the 5k! Therefore, please clear your schedule so that you can be in Madison for the 3rd! More information about volunteering will be available in the coming weeks.

LAST WEEK: END OF YEAR MEETING

 

Last Wednesday, we had our end-of year annual meeting, where we updated some important points of the bylaws regarding vice president positions, appointed positions, and board member requirements to better fit with the current club. Full bylaws be found here.

We also discussed possible changes for formal next year and cross country practices, so make sure to keep updated at the beginning of next semester!

 

 

FEMALE TEAM JACKETS
If you are a female cow who rented out a team jacket and are not planning on running cross country, make sure to contact Sara Kaiser about returning it, preferrably as soon as possible!

NOW STARTING: TRACK SEASON
As you could probably tell from the rest of the contents of this newsletter, it's TRACK TIME! That means a new season, new workouts, and new members! Therefore, here's some things that you can do:
NEW SEASON: Pay your dues, fill out membership forms, and become an authorized driver (if you haven't already)
NEW WORKOUTS: Stay up to date with the workouts of the week by checking your email for coach's instructions or the Facebook and Herdfinder pages (found in quick links)
NEW MEMBERS: Call yo friends, family members, teammates, etc that like running and tell them about track club. There will probably be some new members for the track season, so be super helpful and point them toward the resources and such that they need! If you are a new member, most of the important links are under "quick links", and if anyone has any questions, just ask a board member or regular member!
