Swimmer honored at WIAC finals John Paul Czerwinski Assistant Sports Editor
A sign donning the phrase “Forever STrong” was hung in place of the most missed member of the UW-Whitewater Swimming and Diving team at last weekend’s WIAC Championship. The Warhawks honored former swimmer senior Spencer Twining who died prior to the beginning of the season. The ’Hawks dedicated their season to Twining. The competitors also honored Twining, wearing an ‘STrong’ t-shirt in his honor. “We can’t describe how much that meant to everybody,” senior Grace Devine said. The Warhawk men and women’s swimming and diving teams both placed third at the WIAC Swimming and Diving Championships at the Schroeder Aquatic Center in Brown Deer, Wisconsin Feb. 18 to wrap up their 2016-17 seasons. The Warhawk men finished with 656 points, while the women tallied 731. UW-Stevens Point claimed the men’s championship with 971.50 points. UW-La Crosse won the
women’s championship with 864 points. The women had a strong finish to their season, including 16 top three individual finishes at the championships. “I know us seniors really wanted to end our final meet with a championship, but we knew it was going to be a battle between LaCrosse and Eau Claire,” Devine said. “We performed well this weekend. What I am exceptionally proud of is how we rally behind one another. Every race, our team would be on their feet and going crazy.” Devine, along with the team of sophomore Erin Hawker and seniors Sarah Arteaga and Margaret Lotzer placed second in the 800yard freestyle relay with a time of 7:48.10. Devine and Arteaga also claimed third place in the 400-yard freestyle with the help of junior Michaela Matthys and sophomore Vada Williams. The four of them recorded a time of 3:34.81. Although the men’s team only managed a third place conference finish this season, senior Josh Ka-

nute said a lot more can be taken from the season. “I was very happy with how the team finished this season,” Kanute said. “We may have not reached the end goal of a conference championship, but this team powered through a lot of setbacks. We stayed positive at times when many would have given up. Through all of that, we still had exceptional swims and a lot of fast times that exceeded people’s individual goals and to me that’s the most important.” Kanute finished his career with a fifth place finish in the 200-yard
SPRING SPLASH Upcoming event sees uncertainty Shannon Columb Staff Writer
The end-of-semester celebration, Spring Splash, has lost its major sponsor for this year. Marketing company Wisconsin Red backed out after receiving criticism on last year’s event from city officials. In regards to last year’s party, Wisconsin Red stated in a news release published on Feb. 9 that “the event itself was extremely well-controlled – properly managed, secured, and cleaned promptly.” Steve Farina, founder of Wisconsin Red, stated at the city council meeting that what occurred outside of the event was not “representative of the organization’s vision or values.”
Wisconsin Red has been collaborating with the City of Whitewater, City of Whitewater Police and representatives and university representatives to devise a plan for the future of Spring Splash with a goal to “contain the attendees and safely funnel any ancillary parties to the central area.” Not only did Wisconsin Red hope to keep the participants safe, but bring awareness to the consequences they may face if they violate laws, Farina said. This plan was of no interest to the city and after city officials described the amount of negative feedback they received from residents from last year, Pumpers and Mitchell’s dropped out as a local contrib-
utor. With no local sponsor, Wisconsin Red dropped out. “If I was demonized and characterized the same way, I would make the same decision,” Stephanie Goettl, Common Council member and graduate said. James Langnes III, Common Council member and undergraduate senior believes the move was a mistake “I feel like the city missed an opportunity to work together with Wisconsin Red and turn this event into something like Mifflin or Oktoberfest, in which case, gives out exposure to the

butterfly, sixth place finish in the 200-yard freestyle and seventh in the 500-yard freestyle. “The emotions after the last race were definitely in full-effect, touching the last wall ended my last race of a 17-year swim career,” Kanute said. “It didn’t really set in before that race. But I shook hands with my 200 butterfly competitor Ryan Young of Eau Claire, who I swam next to at conference four years in a row, he made the comment ‘That’s it!’, and it just hit me.”

Chancellor talks budget Nathan Kober Staff Writer
Chancellor Beverly Kopper addressed concerns about impending changes to funding in the upcoming biennial state budget at Tea with the Chancellor on Wednesday Feb. 15. In his recent budget proposal, Gov. Scott Walker proposed increasing funding to Wisconsin’s public K-12 education system and the UW System, for the first time since he became governor. Walker also introduced a plan to cut tuition

Splash: Students, community members weigh in continued from page 1 city…which in turn, brings people into the city, they spend their money, revenue is generated,” Langnes said. For many, whether they are for or against Spring Splash, one thing is for certain – there will still be numerous parties around Whitewater on April 29. “All we’ve done in pushing out the controlled party is create an atmosphere where throwing a party is more adventurous,” Goettl said. With no sponsor, Whitewater City Manager Cameron Clapper is concerned that parties may get out of hand. “A professional organization like Wisconsin
Red is the only kind of resources to throw a party like they did last year and have it be clean and successful,” Clapper said. “Anyone else trying to do that I worry is going to be making things worse for themselves and for their neighbors.” Even though the outcome of April 29 is still uncertain, Clapper hopes having a gap year will prove successful in reducing the negativity associated with the event and Wisconsin Red. “The idea was if there was a tone down in the online presence and promotion to people outside of the community, then any events that happen that day would not have the same negative impacts that they did last year,” Clapper said. However, Goettl firmly believes that the city of Whitewater continues to be a separated into
Chancellor: Discusses budget impact on campus continued from page 1 five percent for in state undergraduate students in the UW System. The lost tuition would be made up for with public funding. Kopper said university administrators in the UW System would be cautious about the idea of cutting tuition, as it currently makes up such a large portion of University budgets, especially at Whitewater. “We are extremely tuition dependent,” Kopper said. “We are already working on a very tight budget.” State funding as a portion of university budgets in the UW System has declined for decades. In 1975, approximately 52 percent of UW-W budget came from the state, whereas now taxpayer money makes up approximately 10 percent of the university’s costs, according to a 2016 report from the UW System. Walker has also proposed that students be given the option to opt out of paying allocable fees that support things like tutoring services on campus and student organizations. Student governments and Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) decide how these funds are spent. This proposal immediately drew criticism from the UW System Student Representatives, an organization that represents 180,000 UW students.
“Reducing the funding for vital resources will have a detrimental effect on student success across the board, disproportionately impacting the ability of first generation and low-income groups to fully access educational opportunities,” UW student representatives said in a news release. “We urge Governor Walker and Wisconsin legislators to reject this harmful proposal.” At Tea with the Chancellor, students were split over the proposal. Senior Allison Hetz said that she liked the idea of students having more freedom to decide how they spend their money. “I think that if people really do like the student organizations they’re a part of they’ll support them,” Hetz said. However, other students felt that taking away public support for student organizations would inevitably shrink their presence on campus. Michael O’Connell, Whitewater Student Government senator said that keeping allocable fees as an essential cost of attending university is essential to preserving the services they provide. “I think that with all of the services we get, with all the support that comes with having an active student body, that’s something that’s definitely worth the cost,” O’Connell said. Walker’s budget will face changes as it goes through the Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee and the Wisconsin Legislature.
residents and students. “My goal in this whole thing is to shift the conversation, talk about the good things students do, help students have a party that’s reasonable,” Goettl said. Despite Wisconsin Red’s absence this year, the Whitewater Police and surrounding departments will be prepared for April 29. In the future, supporters of Spring Splash foresee the event as being more inclusive and designated to a specific street or park. This year, supporters urge participants to be safe, responsible, and respectful. “No matter who you are, you still have a responsibility to be a good public citizen,” Clapper said.

Technology on the rise According to Diana Zelikman, from Websitemagizne, the average 21-year-old has spent 5,000 hours playing video games, sent 250,000

Technology should play a role in classes Royal Purple Editorial Staff Opinion
Technology has been evolving rapidly over the past few years. From waiting until your parents get off the landline to use the internet to having lightning fast smart phones in our pockets, it has now become a nightmare for teachers and professors in the classroom. Some say technology is distracting and unneeded, while others suggest that it is more of an educational tool that should be encouraged in the classroom. Janelle Cox from TeachHub, a resource for teachers, by teachers, said that it is an important tool that should be used and promoted in the classroom. “Educators, too, have seen firsthand the benefits of technology in the classroom. According to a study by IT Trade Association CompTIA just released this month, around 75 percent of educators think that technology has a positive impact in the education process,” Cox said. Technology helps students with a wide range of disabilities and students who may just need a little extra help in the classroom. This can, of course, cause concern

in regards to other students. Many of the concerns revolve around the distraction of individual students in regards to others using technology. This prompts the question, do the benefits outweigh these concerns? Robert Shuter, from the Huffington Post, in an article titled “The End of Classroom on Mobile Devices” suggests that professors should seek alternatives to help end the age of distracted students. “Some university instructors try to integrate laptops and smartphones into their classes, strategically redirecting their stu-
dents’ attention from their mobile devices to class content.” It is hard to say as people have a vast array of reasons for using technology. Some use it as a way to catch up on lectures or even to look further into lecture materials. Professors can use it to engage students with lectures and lecture materials. Computers, cellphones, tablets and more are available to just about anyone. These are devices that everyone uses within their day to day lives. They are surrounded by technology, shouldn’t they be taught about
how to use this technology responsibly in their education? With classes specifically given to teach college students about how to use technology and respect it, professors are slowly having to accept that this modern age is one that looks positively on new advances that make life easier. With technology, one can learn just about anything and has the world at their fingertips. It is easy to understand the concern for modern education as mobile devices and laptops slowly begin to become the primary source for information for students. If professors and educators can get in front of this trend, they can save themselves some trouble down the line. Technology should be embraced in universities around the world as a way to help engage students in their education. Those who become distracted should take personal responsibility for this and perhaps change seats if it becomes a problem. Technology is more of a greater good rather than a lesser evil in the classroom and it should be allowed without reservation as a way for students to further their education.

The Forum Letters to the Editor
Common council member endorses VP Thomas Kind
For over seven years now, I have had the unique opportunity to represent students at UW-Whitewater. First, as a senator on Whitewater Student Government, then as the Speaker of the Senate, and finally/currently, as a representative on the Whitewater Common Council. I write this letter not to explain my own advances in government, but to advocate for the advancement of another. In those seven years, I have had the incredible privilege of not only helping students’ voices be heard when they cannot speak for themselves, but also to meet many student leaders interested in the same opportunity. We can hope every day that every student will take the time necessary to research and form an opinion on every issue that comes before university, local, state, and even federal levels of government—or, we can recognize the awesome responsibility that comes with being their voice, taking the time to do that research, voicing those opinions, and ultimately, casting a vote. When I met Tom Kind, I knew he was different from other student representatives. He
had done his research before our conversation. He knew of my experience with Whitewater Student Government. Instead of immediately telling me every issue he wanted to pursue as your Whitewater Student Government, the first question he asked me was, “what do you want done? You, as a student, a former senator, and a common council member, what do you think UW-W needs to do and how can I do it?” Spoiler: Your student representatives do not know everything. They never will. Like you, they are on campus to learn—and serving in student government requires just as much learning as any class offered here. The best of them understand effective leadership isn’t always about being the loudest at the table, but about hearing from, working with, and drawing from a diverse group of people with unique insights. Tom listened to me carefully. He heard me say that I believe Whitewater Student Government and UW-Whitewater itself need to take a tougher approach when it comes to campus sexual assault, so my friends and people I love
Noah Rusch Supports VP Tom Kind About a year ago, Tom Kind and I ran for student body President and Vice President. We lost by two votes, but in the end, he still ended up as Vice President because of his dedication to students. Now, I’m happy to write this letter in support of his candidacy for President. Tom Kind is a worker—one like you’d never believe. He spends his days in the Whitewater Student Government office and the University Center doing more things and fixing more problems in an hour than most people do in a day. He makes time to hear everyone out, and at the end of the day puts students first. Sometimes we even have to remind him to sleep. After spending three years on the Stu-
dent Senate and one year as Speaker, I can tell you that there’s no better candidate for the office than Tom Kind. That’s why I ran with him, and that’s why I’m supporting him. We need someone who is willing to stand strong for students, and that person is Tom Kind. — Noah Rusch Former Speaker of the Senate Whitewater Student Government
who have been victims can be comfortable and educated enough to know where to turn. He heard me explain how city government affects students every day. He listened to my ideas on how to work cohesively and later offered me some ideas that hadn’t occurred to me, even as I approach a decade of representing Warhawks—ideas I hope to work on alongside him. To put it simply, you won’t find a better candidate in 2017 for Whitewater Student Government than Tom Kind. He will educate and he will advocate. He will speak for you and speak with you. He will, without a doubt, serve YOU, not himself. He will graduate with an incredible resume, but he sacrifice his time for long meetings and events, because Tom truly is an altruistic leader, the likes of whom UW-Whitewater needs most of all. I wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy. Stephanie A. Goettl — City of Whitewater Common Council-District 5 Representative
Thought on RP reporting Feb. 1 publication of the Royal Purple, featuring explicit detail about a sexual assault that took place on campus, lacked a sensitivity to the effects of trauma. Within this situation, there are now two lives that have been further disrupted by this publication of the article. Regardless of the fact that names were left out, reputations continue to be effected for anyone who is aware of the identity of the victim or perpetrator. While public records allow it, the posting of the details of the assault perpetuates the trauma and wrong that has already been done to this individual. Imagine, one of your most difficult moments on display for all to read. — Tiffany Wood Social Work Major, senior

My worst college fears were confirmed when it finally happened… I was locked out of my room wrapped in nothing but a towel. Dripping wet and panicking, I did the first thing I could think of which was to get a spare key. Unfortunately the front desk did not open until 10 a.m., and it was only 8:45 a.m. I ran to a friends room, hoping if nothing else they could lend me some clothes in the meantime, but they too were gone. I ran back across the building, after of course running into a plethora of attractive men. That was a confidence booster. I knocked on my Resident Assistant’s door only to find that she too was not home. Finally a kind soul in the bathroom told me she saw the janitor on the floor above us, and he was able to let me back into my room. So, from now on, I have learned my lesson that bringing your keys to the bath-
room is always a good idea. Unless streaking across your residence hall is your gig, in which case all the power to you. —Becca Bailey, staff writer

Endowment allows for world renown artist visit By Ashley McCallum Co Editor-in-Chief By Hannah Maes Arts and Rec Editor
O
ne million dollars and a dream to inspire will allow students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater the opportunity to work alongside some of the biggest names in contemporary art for years to come. The UW-W Art and Design Department received The Annette and Dale Schuh Visiting Artist Endowment for $1 million with the contingency to bring renowned artists to campus to meet and inspire students. The first artist in residency will be printmaker, sculptor and multimedia artist Kiki Smith. Smith’s residency will last from Monday, March 6 through Friday, March 10. Annette Schuh was in the graduating class of ’71 at UW-W. As a student, she had the opportunity to meet some of the most prominent artists of the time including Roy Lichtenstein, Wayne Thiebaud and William T. Wiley. She says she was so impacted by her experiences with these artists that she felt the need to make sure future students had an opportunity to meet such distinguished artists. “My professors and these special guests left their prints, which remain to this day, on my life and work,” Schuh said in an email to a professor in the department. With this grant, UW-W will continue to bring influential artists to campus every year to interact with students. Melton says the program will continue to impact students lives in the following years. “We are really trying to work out what this will become,” Melton said. “In the future, we want to involve as many students as possible and as many disciplines within art and design as possible and have the same type of impact on our students lives and future careers as Annette’s experience had on her. This is just the first artist in a long line of established artists. Once a year we will invite one as part of our project; it’s very exciting.” Art professor Dale Kaminski explains how great this opportunity is not only for the individual students who will be able to meet her, but for the reputation of the university as a whole.

Kiki Smith is the first visiting artist sponsored by “The Annette and Dale Schuh Visiting Artist Endowment.” Her residency begins Monday, March 6 with a free public lecture and will be working in the Crossman Gallery for the rest of the week.
“For people not involved in the art industry or maybe don’t know her, it’s as if the football team had Brett Favre come coach them for a week,” Kaminski said. “We’re bringing in someone with a huge national reputation and brings in that voice and talks about the life of an artist, and that’s inspiring.” For her residency, the art department’s printmaking equipment will be moved from the basement of the Center of the Arts, to the ground level Crossman Gallery. The space will be converted into a studio where students can work alongside Smith as well as print artist and inventor Dan Welden. Welden was the inventor of the printmaking technique Solarprinting. He has been featured in more than 80 solo exhibitions and more than 700 group exhibitions around the world. “Whitewater’s going to be one of the world’s best print making labs for a week,” Kaminski said. “Kiki Smith will be here and we have the master print maker Dan Welden coming in to help with the technical aspect side of things, and then we have Tandem Press setup to make the final prints.” Max White, professor of art, says the gallery will be made into a space where everyone is welcome to come and work. “We will be bringing up tables for students to work and have little nooks for yoga classes and places to drink tea and coffee,” White said.
“This is an art making experience where you get to be in the space, see what they’re doing, make your own work, and talk with them. It’s very hands-on and interactive.” Smith will be holding an open lecture at 7 p.m. on March 6 in the Young Auditorium. Details surrounding when the gallery will be open to the public for students to work with Smith are still undetermined, but some classes do have scheduled times in the gallery with Smith. As a pioneer in contemporary art, Smith relies heavily on instinct and her environment. Kaminski, Melton and White say they do not know what to expect from Smith’s work while at UW-W, and it will be a mystery even to Smith until she starts working in the gallery. In more than 30 years as an artist, Smith has broken ground in work that directly confronts themes of feminism, AIDS, identity and the body. Her disruption of binaries such as human-animal and male-female have advanced conversations of contemporary social issues. Some of Smith’s most famous works include Untitled jars, Lilith, Born and Wolf Girl. She has been featured in galleries around the world including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Barbara Gross Galerie in Munich. Art News recently published the comprehensive list of featured artists for the 2017 Venice Biennale which included Smith as one of the 120 artists.

Bowling team shatters school record
The No. 14 UW-Whitewater bowling team set a 290 Baker game record Feb. 19 at the Valparaiso Crusader Classic in Richton Park, Ill. The Warhawks began the game with a spare and closed the game with 11 strikes
in a row to seal the record. Junior Karissa Gonio, sophomores Emma Kuhn and Lauren Price, seniors Taylor Hoppe and Amanda Van Duyn were part of the game. The previous record, 268, lasted just over four years.
Ranked UW-W heads to postseason Men’s squad ends week going 1-1 By Tyler Job Staff Writer
As the 17th ranked UW-Whitewater men’s basketball team heads to the WIAC tournament as the No. 3 seed, UW-W had an up-and-down final week of play. The team fell to UW-Oshkosh 67-63 Feb. 15, but rebounded with a 70-68 overtime win over UW-Eau Claire Feb. 18 on Senior Day. Despite leading most of the contest, UW-W got out to a 31-26 halftime lead against UW-O and extended its lead to 11 with just over 15 minutes remaining in regulation. But, the Titans stormed back with a 14-2 run to lead 44-43, and the Warhawks were not be able to maintain the lead after that. UW-W head coach Pat Miller said it was poor free throw shooting towards the end that was an issue. “You have to make those in close games,” Miller said. “We’ve been up-and-down from a free throw perspective all year, more so down than up in close games and those are the difference.” Miller also noted defensive

woes were a problem. “Our back side was non-existent,” Miller said. “They got a layup and they were able to keep scoring.” UW-W shot 34.5 percent from the field but just made two out of 14 three pointers. Junior guard Chris Jones led all UW-W scoring with 23 points and four rebounds,
while junior forward Scotty Tyler added 10 points and seven rebounds. “I really just try to go there and hopefully try to get the team the win but we just didn’t come out today,” Jones said. Against UW-EC, UW-W held the Blugolds to 25.9 percent shooting en route to
an eight-point first half lead. UW-EC’s shooting began to heat up in the second half and exchanged the lead with UW-W multiple times. ’Hawks sophomore forward Derek Rongstad’s clutch three-point play near the end was a large reason why the ’Hawks stayed in it. “He was more aggressive in
the second half, and he is also a very good defender,” Miller said. “He rebounds very well for his size and gives us some offense that makes us more effective as a team overall.” The Warhawks shot just 25 percent from the field in the extra period, but solid free throw shooting from Rongstad and Jones (10-12 for the team) propelled the team to eventual victory. Jones led all scorers with 19 points, while Rongstad, Tyler, and sophomore guard Andre Brown added 17, 13, and 11 points, respectively. All of Rongstad’s 17 points came in the second half. As UW-W heads to the playoffs once again, Coach Miller remains optimistic. “This team has battled, and they’ve got better,” Miller said. “But we still don’t believe we’ve come close to playing to our potential.” The WIAC Tournament has been around for 19 years, and Whitewater will appear in its 19th tournament as the No. 3 seed. UW-W hosted the sixth seeded UW-Stout Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. in Kachel Gymnasium. To find out how the ’Hawks did, visit royalpurplenews. com for updated coverage.
’Hawks earn first round bye in WIAC tourney
Women’s squad goes 1-1 during week of action By John Miller Staff Writer
With the regular season now at an end, the UW-Whitewater women’s basketball team (20-5, 10-4) split its two road games this week with a nail biting 59-58 loss on Feb. 15 vs. No. 11 UW- Oshkosh, and a 68-56 win on Feb. 18 vs. UW-Eau Claire. The Warhawks earned the No. 2 overall seed in the upcoming WIAC tournament and a first-round bye. In the first game of the week the Warhawks once again shined on the defensive end, holding the Titans to 34 percent from the field. The Warhawk offense couldn’t find the team’s stride though, as they committed 18 turnovers and shot 40.4 percent from the field. Junior guard Malia Smith led the way with 14 points and six rebounds. Smith also contributed defensively with three steals.
Sophomore forward Olivia Freckmann finished one rebound shy of a double-double, putting up 10 points and nine rebounds. The back and forth battle between the Warhawks and Titans ended with the Warhawks down one with the ball and the chance to win, but were unable to get a shot off when the Titans got a timely turnover. The Warhawks limped out of the gate in their second game of the week, falling behind 9-2 early. UW-W responded with two threes and a jumper to quickly reclaim the lead with 4:08 in the first quarter. Both teams took turns reclaiming the lead from one another throughout the game, but the breakthrough run came for the Warhawks in the third and fourth quarter when the team went on an 11-0 run to take a 54-43 lead. With the field goal percentages and turnovers nearly identical for both teams, the Warhawks found their edge on the glass. The Warhawks out
rebounded the Blugolds by 15 and snatched 13 offensive rebounds. Head coach Keri Carollo liked the effort she saw from her team. “I just wanted them to continue to work hard and try to help their teammates out by getting second shots,” Carollo said. “They did a good job of that tonight.” Junior guard Brooke Trewyn netted 22 points, with four of her six made field goals coming from beyond the arc. After a tough stretch of games, Trewyn put it together vs. UW-EC for her seventh 20-plus point game this season. “It’s been awhile since I’ve actually seen the ball go through the basket for me,” Trewyn said. “I was hitting more of my outside shots, which was good. They fell into a 2-3 zone early, so that’s how we got them out of that.” Freckmann got her first double-double of the season with a 14 point, 15 rebound performance, and led the team with three steals. With the Warhawks’ win Feb. 18
and a UW-Stevens Point loss, the team officially finished second in the WIAC standings and claimed a bye in the WIAC tournament. The team won’t have a game until Feb.24. After a long and grueling season, the bye provides much needed rest for the Warhawks. Trewyn said the team is excited to be able to relax for the next couple of days after Feb. 18’s win, but the team is also looking forward to getting after it in the upcoming practices and hopefully getting a win Friday night. Even though the all-important conference tournament is up next for the Warhawks, it doesn’t change the way the team will prepare. “We prepare the same as we do for any other game,” Carollo said. “We’ll be looking forward to see who we’ll be playing on Friday night.” The Warhawks will take on the highest remaining seed in a WIAC tournament semifinal matchup on Feb. 24 at home.

Gymnasts dismantle UW-Oshkosh Sophomore Lisa O’Donnell claims first place overall By Maddie Drain Staff Writer
The UW-Whitewater gymnastics team (7-0) took down UW-Oshkosh 192.400184.425 in the WIAC competition Feb. 18, earning the third highest score in program history. Sophomore Lisa O’Donnell won the vault, the uneven parallel bars, and the floor exercise to lead the team. O’Donnell placed first all-around with a score of 38.875, a National Collegiate Gymnastics Association national record. “I like doing this for my team,” O’Donnell said. “I felt like I did my part.” O’Donnell accredits her success to the energy from her teammates. “It helps me so much when I know that my teammates are behind me and going crazy,” O’Donnell said. “They’re on the event with me, basically.” Head coach Jennifer Regan said the team faced a lot of setbacks and injuries this
past week. “I was very proud to see that they could put that behind, and put it all together,” Regan said. Whitewater scored a 47.850 on the vault. O’Donnell led the team with a 9.700 followed by senior Katie Fiorilli with a 9.575. Junior Chloe Rehberg tied for third with a 9.550. The Warhawks had a strong performance on the bars with a 48.125 team score. O’Donnell scored a 9.825 and tied the third-best score in the program’s history. Senior Mackenzie Smith tied for second with a score of 9.700, followed by junior McKenzie Foster with 9.600 to finish fourth. The ’Hawks dominated the balance beams and set a school record with 48.225. Foster placed first with a 9.750 and tied for the thirdbest score in program history. Smith (9.700), senior Courtney Pickett (9.675), and O’Donnell (9.575) followed to make up the top five scores. The Warhawks finished the meet with a 48.200 in the floor exercise. O’Donnell scored 9.775 and tied
for the program’s No. 10 score. Pickett placed second with a 9.750 and sophomore Franchesca Hutton in third with a 9.675. Coach Regan believes this team stands out from others. “They find a way to make it click and prove us wrong as coaches,” Regan said. Honoring the fifth anniversary of the 2002 national championship team, Alumni were welcomed back as part of the meet. “It was such an honor,” O’Donnell said. “They have all gone through this and it is so great for them to watch us do it.” The Warhawks also wore pink to support breast cancer awareness. The team raised and donated funds to breast cancer research. Regardless of injuries the Warhawks came out on top and remain undefeated. “We are stronger than we know,” Regan said. Coach Regan also said the team will be focused on one meet at a time and is striving to get better every week. UW-W continues WIAC play 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 24 at UW-La Crosse.

’Hawks succeed at Titan Challenge Swim: Teams Men’s squad wins, women’s squad finishes third at UW-Oshkosh take third By Matt Gilson Staff Writer
The Warhawk’s men’s and women’s track teams took to the track for a showdown at the Titan Challenge on Feb. 18 at UW-Oshkosh. Both teams were highly successful overall with the women’s team earning a second place finish out of 12 teams, and the men’s squad taking home the top spot with a first place finish out of seven teams. Also the throwers traveled to Madison to compete in the Wisconsin Shell Shocker Invitational on Friday Feb, 17. Senior Levi Perry placed second in the weight throw, and junior Theron Baumann placed third in the shot put with distances of 19.13 and 17.84 meters respectively. Baumann broke his own school record in the event. Senior Amanda Strupp also placed fifth in the weight throw. Women set record The women’s 4x400 relay team of freshman Abbie Felton, junior Enyo Amet, senior Leah Richter and senior Meredith Porter set a
new school record with a time of 3:50.93 minutes. They won the event easily, besting the next team by 17 full seconds. Off of the track Strupp won the weight throw with a personal record (PR) of 17.97 meters. Strupp said it was a PR by .22 meters. “It felt awesome,” Strupp said. “I was extremely happy with my PR.” She noted she was surprised by the performance considering they had meets back to back days. The women’s squad will look forward to holding onto their momentum going into the WIAC indoor championships next weekend. “As a team, we did really good as a whole and are peaking at the right time,” Strupp said. “I’m super excited to see what we can do as a team going into conference. Not only that but, I’m feeling confident in what we can accomplish on the national level. I think there will be big things happening this weekend in all events for both the men and women’s teams.”
Men win the Challenge Senior DuVaun Goodlow won the high jump with a height of 2.07 meters, a personal record and a mark good for sixth in D-III. Sophomore Cameron Magee also placed third in the event with a height of 1.92 meters. Sophomore jumper Matt Green won the triple jump with a PR of 14.06 meters, which is good enough for third in the WIAC. Back on the track, the ’Hawks were also successful in the 60-meter dash taking the second, third and fifth spots. Freshmen dominated the event with Josh Iraci taking second, with Leonard Carson in third and Oren Henderson-Zintz in fifth. Freshman Alec Masters ran a PR in the 400-meter dash. He took second in the event overall with a time of 50.83 seconds, less than a half second behind first. Both the men’s and women’s Warhawks will be back in action at the WIAC indoor track and field championships on February 24 and 25. The championships will be hosted by UW-Stout.
“I think there will be big things happening this weekend in all events for both the men’s and women’s teams.” - Amanda Strupp
Senior Dan Bielski finished his final meet for the men, as he was runner-up in the 200-meter backstroke finishing with a mark of 1:53.65. Bielski also finished second in the 100-meter backstroke with a time of 50.69. The Warhawks also honored former ‘Hawks swimmer Spencer Twining who passed away prior to the season’s beginning. The ‘Hawks heavily dedicated their season of work to Twining this season. The competitors also honored Twining, wearing an ‘STrong’ t-shirt in his honor. “One of our team members painted a sign that said ‘Forever STrong’ and had it hanging by our spot all weekend,” Devine said. “All the other teams in the WIAC showed their support by wearing t-shirts that said ‘STrong’ on them. We can’t describe how much that meant to everybody.” Although the Warhawks’ team season is complete, unofficial NCAA Championship qualifiers are going to be announced via press release on NCAA.com at 4 p.m. on Feb. 22.
