Our new Whippets had an opportunity to compete in individual events. These swimmers include:
✔Atreya Wilson swam in the 100 Breaststroke and then immediately swam in the 400 Relay.
✔Ace Hudec and Andrea Alcala competed for the first time this season. They both did a great job in conquering the dive and flip turns in the 50 Freestyle.
✔Big shout out to Charlotte Hajewski for taking on the 200 IM, which is never an easy swim, and to Josie Treder for taking on the 100 Butterfly for the first time!
We are so proud of all our Whippet swimmers! The dogs next compete on Saturday at the Elkhorn Invite.

Excerpted from a Gazette article on September 8:
UW-Whitewater has a 42-game regular-season football winning streak at Perkins Stadium.
That streak faces a strong challenge Saturday afternoon, and thousands of fans are expected to watch it.
No. 1-rated and defending NCAA Division III national champion Mary Hardin-Baylor makes the 1,100-mile journey north to take on the sixth-ranked Warhawks at noon Saturday.
UW-Whitewater coach Kevin Bullis knows the Division III powerhouse matchup will attract a crowd—maybe as many as a record 20,000.
“That’s my dream,” Bullis said. “If we have 15,000, fantastic.”
The Perkins Stadium record crowd is 17,535 that watched the Warhawks play Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe UW-Oshkosh on Oct. 8, 2016.

After a difficult start to the season last Saturday when the Warhawks fell to host Saint John’s University (MN), 24-10, UW-W dropped from #4 to #6 in the D3football.com poll. The Banner article on that game may be found here.
The Warhawks continue their tough non-conference slate this Saturday, September 10 against top-ranked Mary-Hardin Baylor (TX) at Perkins Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. A great turnout will give the team a boost as they dig deep to get back on track. Tickets may be purchased here. Advance tickets, at a savings of $2 over the gate price, for adults are $13 and for youth (under 18) and senior adults (65+) are $8. Children age 3 and under are free.
