new member spotlight: Eveline Enthoven

Eveline is a junior from Princeton, NJ studying chemical engineering! Her favorite WTC memory so far was going to Screamin Acres since it was very entertaining to see who was scared the easiest. She joined WTC having never been on a track team before, and being a part of this team has made her love running since it is much more motivating to do as a group! She also really enjoys training for the races. She likes how track club has so many fun events that you can sign up for. Almost every week there is a new activity like a corn maze or a race where you can meet new people. Fun fact about Eveline: she is originally from Holland and she was born in Belgium! Welcome to WTC Eveline!

new member spotlight: Tony Camacho

Tony is a freshman from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin majoring in finance! His favorite WTC memory is competing to eat the most breadsticks at Olive Garden before regionals. He got into running at the start of Covid because he had nothing else to do at home. He really likes it so he just kept on with it and tried to see how good he could get! Fun fact: he likes barefoot running when it is warm outside. WTC is so happy to have you Tony!
