Inter-Squad 5k

To kick off the season, the Cows gathered on the Lakeshore path and broke into teams for an inter-squad 5k. On the women’s side, we had Madi Pape coming in first with a time of 19:32, followed by Allie Levin and Hannah Moulton (19:43,19:57). For the men, Evan Routhier came in first with a speedy time of 15:45 and was followed by Matt Kuik and Kevin Dado (16:01, 16:10). Team Buechel, consisting of Megan Buechel, Hannah Sorensen, Molly Baus, Kevin Dado, Matt Ammel, Thomas Miller, Izak Oltman, Sam Brey, and Noah Fetherston, took home the win with a score of 35 points.

Big thank you to Patrick Stiles for getting some great photos of the meet!! 

Border Battle

The second meet of the season was the traditional Border Battle, where the Cows faced the University of Minnesota Gophers. It was a very hot day, but we still had some great showings on both the men’s and women’s teams. The male cows were lead by Matt Kuik coming in 3rd place with a time of 33:47, and right behind him in 4th and 5th was Thomas Miller and Kevin Dado (33:59, 34:08). Rounding off the score was Kevin Boyle (35:07) and Gabriel Gozum (35:49), who finished 9th and 12th respectively. The male cows came in 2nd, but it was still a great performance by all.

On the women’s side, the cows swept the gophers continuing their winning streak of the Border Battle by taking places 1-7. They were lead by Madi Pape (40:45), and not too far behind was Rissa Lane (41:15), Megan Buechel (42:42), Allie Levin (42:47), Hanna Doctor (43:36), Hannah Moulton (45:13), and Hannah Mitchell (45:14). The lady cows have a younger squad but with showings like this it should be an exciting season.

Thank you to Luke Kubasta and Cameron Lane-Flehinger for all of the awesome pictures from the meet!!

Roy Griak

The Cows hit the road last weekend for the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Mn. Big thank you to all the families who housed the team over the weekend, and a very big thank you to Rachel Anderson’s family, who hosted the team for a scrumptious pasta feed! It was a very hot day outside and Griak is the toughest course on the schedule, but despite these challenges, the cows still laid down some good performances. The lady cows won in the Club Team division, taking down Minnesota once again. Leading them was Hannah Mitchell coming in 101st (24:43), and she was followed by Rissa Lane (25:17), Hannah Moulton (25:57), Megan Buechel (26:50), and Stephanie Rink (26:53).

On the men’s side Matt Kuik lead the squad coming in 45th with a time of 27:05. Following him was Kevin Dado (27:49), Evan Routhier (28:50), Jack Prazich (28:56), and Andre Hessini (29:00). Great job to everyone who braved the heat and hills, looks like the cows will be having a great season!
