Practice Updates & Welcome back

WTC practice is back!! Here's how practice will work for the very beginning of 2026:

• Distance practice: is back to being held at 5:30pm!  We'll continue to meet at the Union South circle, where we met for all of last semester.
• Sprints and Field practice: resumes this week Monday and Wednesday at 5:30pm at the Bakke. Indoor practices at Verona will begin soon! PLEASE register to be an authorized driver if you plan on going to Verona. Having enough authorized drivers is crucial to the club. Authorized drivers will be given a discount to Club Relays. 

Please feel free to reach out to the (new!!) event VPs (Bri Kiriago, Lauren Fligge, Sam Moschkau,  or Nathan Phillips) with any questions about practices or workouts!

Our spring kickoff meeting will be held THIS Thursday, January 29, at 8:00pm. Come learn about all that WTC has to offer this semester.

You can find WTC at the Org Fair Tuesday, February 10th from 5:00pm-8:00pm. Bring your friends! Come recruit! We'll hold a new member meeting on Thursday, February 12, at 8:00pm for anyone who can't make the kickoff meeting. See you there!

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 if you're from states besides Wisconsin. We are required to have two authorized drivers per car when we go out of state. IF WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH DRIVERS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO CLUB RELAYS. You can find information about the process here.
