Zoo Frun and ULTIMATE FRISBEE

The Cows went to the Henry Vilas Zoo this past Saturday morning and had a scavenger hunt and then hit up Gotham Bagels after! We saw monkeys, flamingos, bison, seals... and most importantly the badgers!! Although there were no cows in the Zoo- there were plenty of cows running around it. Congratulations to the winning group, who received two WTC hats!! We also played ultimate frisbee this past Thursday for practice and Group 1 emerged undefeated!! Thank you to all of the cows that came out to these events and had fun!! If you missed these events are are sad, make sure to check the Slack and the Instagram for updates about future socials!!

Message from the Photographer, Liam Beran!

Hey WTC! I have set up a #photographers channel for anyone who's interested in helping out the club (and me) by taking photos at meets. If you're at all interested in doing so, please join the channel; I'll be sending updates for photographers in there going forward. As a reminder, our next meet is Border Battle, which will take place in Verona at 11am, Saturday Sept. 28. Would love to see some of y'all taking pictures there.
