What a fast week last week was. We covered some serious ground so I want to point out a few big highlights. Our home meet on Tuesday was so much fun, times were fast, and our teams ran well with a lot of PR’s. A Big time THANK YOU’s to everyone who helped with the meet. We also wrapped up our fundraising for the season with Cow Chip Bingo and we exceeded our season fundraising goals. Another Big Thank You to everyone involved this season with fundraising, since our fundraising set a record this year it will be noted as the debut of the 2024 PR List.

MSU + Hamlin Lake + Weekly Goals
Time to pack our bags. Last week was the half way point of the season, which means this week is the first week of the rest of the season. There is no better way to start the rest of the season than with a great race at The Spartan Invitational and some rest and relaxation at Hamlin Lake. It’s been a grind getting to this week so the relaxation is well deserved.
Weekly Goals
Focused Work Outs

The Chop & Homework!
We all have homework! Around the farm we are chopping corn this week. The goal is to get it all done before Friday!! Relentless forward progress and tired Coaches Van Winkle’s will be on display all week long. We are working hard on our homework and take this as a reminder to our athletes to get their classroom work done this week too!!
