Practice for Spring semester
Practice will be a lot similar to first semester with limited amount of people allowed at each practice.
SPRINTS: Sprinters will meet at the shell. Specific times TBD as we are waiting on communication from the Shell. So sprinters make sure to check next weeks newsletter for specific times.
DISTANCE: Distance will be meeting at Engineering Hall with practice times including 5:15 and 5:30.
Monday and Wednesdays are workout days. 5:15 is faster practice and 5:30 is fast practice.
Tuesday and Thursdays will be coed so they are not divided by pacing. Practices will still be held at 5:15 and 5:30 but it is not determined by paces.
Fridays we do not meet.
Saturdays are the fast pace long runs and Sundays will be the faster pace long runs which meet at 9am at Engineering Hall.
KEEP OLD SHOES TO DONATE
If you have any old running shoes or you are getting to the end of your current pair make sure to save them as we will be collecting them for donation at a later date.
New members
If you are a new member, make sure you sign up for IMLeagues. We do not use WIN anymore so it is important to not use that program. Watch this video to learn how to use IMLeagues. See how to join by following the links below

ALSO... make sure you join Strava so you can virtually cheer on your fellow teammates of the Wisconsin Track Club!
Socials this semester
Along with fun practices, the WTC works hard to create fun socials that bring the team together. With Covid, this has been difficult this year. We will however work to have fun socials that are both virtual or outside and safe. Keep your eyes open in further newsletters about specific events.
APPAREL This semester
Our apparel coordinator is in the working on creating new pieces of apparel for this semester. Keep on the look out for some sick new cow merch 🙂
