drake Alternative and Crazylegs!
The Cows had a very busy weekend between two races!! First, we had the Drake Alternative on Thursday the 25th! There were two club records broken, the first one being the women's 4x1 broken by Kate Bjorklund, Haili Brone, Sabina Dayal, and Mirielle Sherman, and the second one being the women's 400m Hurdles broken by Lily Hamacher! On top of this, Matt Stilling went sub 4:00 in the 1500m! Second, we had Crazylegs this Saturday and we had many Cows come out to compete with the community! Though it was a very hot and windy day, Matt Stilling finished 9th overall and Adam Kitay placed 15th overall! 7 other cows also finished within the top 50 as well! Cows Achieve!
FIELD DAY!
In the thunderous coliseum of destiny (Ed Klief park), where the tempest of competition howls with merciless zeal, only the elite dare to stake their claim. Here, beneath the unforgiving spotlight of fate, Cows clash and champions rise from the ashes of the ordinary. With hearts forged in the fires of relentless ambition and eyes set on the glittering prize of eternity, these daunting contenders transcend mere mortals. For in this grand spectacle of triumph and glory, where legends are born and myths are made, remember this undying truth: only the best can conquer, only the best can reign supreme, and only the best can etch their names in the annals of victory! Mark your calendars for the ultimate Field Day Social this Saturday (The 4th)! Get ready to gear up for a Field Day where only the best Cows can claim the title of Field Day Champion! Sign up here
BADGER CLASSIC AND MESSAGE FROM JENNA:
Hey, cows!
Coming to you live from College Library is your newest volunteering opportunity and a good way to help WTC raise some funds. This Friday the Badger Classic track meet is happening at McClimon and we were asked to help run events. If you're not too busy with finals or want a little study break please come by to help out!! Anytime that you can spare is greatly appreciated! Don't leave the VPs and me hanging 🙂
The sign up spreadsheet for volunteering at the Badger Classic can be found here. Bring your cow friends for a fun time! Rumor has it we may even get to watch some of our fellow members compete D1! You won't want to miss out.
Sign up for the event (or events if you can stick around) that you would like to help with on the spreadsheet by entering your name. Please keep field events to two people per event max so that we can have people spread out evenly among events. For running event set up, anyone can jump in as needed. Throwing events will be hosted at the Goodman Softball Complex, NOT McClimon. It is nearby and you enter it into your phone for directions if needed. For any events that you are helping with, you will need to show up 45 minutes before the start time of that event.
Please shoot me a text, or email, or stop me at practice if you have any questions. I know that this is a really inconvenient time of the semester but if you can spare the time please help out! This is also a good chance to try to get those volunteering hours in and get an incentive if you want one.
Happy studying,
