INDOOR TRACK SCHEDULE

The number of indoor track meets has increased once again! Here are your FIVE indoor track meets of the winter!! Sign up can be found here. Reach out to meet coordinator Aimon Van Houten with any questions. PLEASE sign up to be an authorized driver. The process has changed, and it's pretty easy to be authorized, especially if you're from Wisconsin. We are required to have two authorized drivers per car when we go out of state. You can find information about the process here.

• Platteville Invite: We spent Valentine's Day with our nearest and dearest Cows this Saturday at UW-Platteville! Some of the boys held down the fort at the meet while we all enjoyed the warm weather back in Madison. Sam Culwell broke his indoor 60m record by a hundredth of a second! It now stands at 7.03 seconds. Caleb Rocha moves up in the 60m ranks with a 7.11 for fourth, also lowering his previous mark by a hundredth of a second. Congratulations to all the racers! You're all WTC's Valentines.
• Panther Tune-up: The last one before the big dance (Club Relays)! WTC put on a great showing against D1 competition at UWM, and we had tons of PRs and top-five finishes across the board. Caleb Rocha continues to move himself up on the top-ten list every week, this time with a 8.46 in the 60m hurdles (second all time), and a huge PR in the triple: 13.50 meters for second all time! Nathan Simon (4:21.64 in the mile for fourth all time), Wil Lackner (4:22.58 in the mile for sixth all time), Arlo White (2:00.01 in the 800m for ninth all time) and Mason Weber (8:39.17 in the 3k for a NEW INDOOR RECORD!) put on a fantastic showing on the men's distance side. Lily Hamacher continues to dominate in women's hurdles, and improves her second place 60m hurdles time to 9.09 seconds. Finally, congratulations to Alex McDowell (1.80m in high jump to tie for fourth all time) and Jonathan Kerby-White (1.75 in high jump to tie for ninth all time). As always, we're so proud of everyone's performances this weekend, and we're very excited to bring this momentum into Club Relays next weekend!
