Women's Cross Country
The Women's Cross Country team is a highly decorated and integral part of the UW-Eau Claire community. Our athletes follow the UW-Eau Claire mission of excellence to the highest standard. To continue the legacy of excellence, we need support from loyal fans like you to continue to practice and compete at the top level.
This year, we are looking for donations to help improve the student-athlete experience. We want to support our athletes by purchasing the following:
Currently, our student-athletes are financially responsible for outfitting themselves for practice. We want to alleviate that financial burden by providing those apparel kits. And compression boots are a huge help in recovery. Many other institutions can provide these for student-athletes, so having these things available will make UWEC more attractive when recruiting new runners and retaining our top talent.
Dr. Erik Hendrickson & Dr. Erica Barrette '99 are generously matching all gifts to Women's Cross Country dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000! Make you gift during Athletics Giving Week to double your impact. Additionally, Judy Kruckman is challenging everyone to give back to our Blugold Women's Teams. Once we hit 100 gifts to any women's team, Judy will give $1,500 to the Women’s Opportunity Fund. When we hit 200 gifts to any women's team, she'll kick in another $1,500. And once we hit 300 gifts to any women's team, she'll donate $2,000. In total, that's $5,000 to support our Blugold Women's Teams through the Judith Kruckman Women’s Opportunity Fund!
Your support for Cross Country benefits current and future athletes. Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you cheering us on this season. We are grateful for every student-athlete, coach, athletic trainer, administrator, and fan of Blugold Cross Country and can’t wait to see what our future has in store for us. Go Blugolds!
