UWEC Women's Track and Field

The Women'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.

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!

Pete Eckerline '82 is matching all gifts to Women's Track and Field dollar-for-dollar up to $2,500! Make your gift during Athletics Giving Week to take advantage of this opportunity to double your impact for Track and Field. 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!

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.
