UWEC Men's Track and Field

The Men's Track and Field 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 compete at the top level. 

Last spring, we hosted a home meet for the first time in nearly 20 years at Simpson Field. We are excited to host our second home meet this spring but need a few more upgrades to Simpson Field to be considered a premier competition host. Your gifts will help us with:

• 50 high-end hurdles - We currently have 50, which limits how we can manage our events. Doubling our number of hurdles will ensure we are adequately outfitted to host those events. 
• Storage shed for all throws equipment - We currently store all throws equipment in McPhee and have no good place at Simpson Field. A storage shed for this equipment near the throws area is common practice for most competition spaces.

Randy Wilbur '79 is happily matching at gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000 and Pete Eckerline '82 is matching gifts up to $2,500 for Men's Track and Field! That means there is $3,500 available in matching money for Men's Track and Field. Make your gift this week to take advantage of this opportunity to double your impact and maximize these matches.

Your support for Track and Field benefits current and future athletes. 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 Track and Field and can’t wait to see what our future has in store for us. Go Blugolds!

Gifts are counted as one per household per team. Please do not give a gift to the same team for you, your spouse, your child etc. because you all will only be counted as one gift towards the challenge. There is an option to jointly make your gift from you and your spouse to ensure you are both credited for your generosity.
