In the News
What’s the latest news and stories about the women of Team WinS.
Climbing Clinic
On Saturday Nov. 14th Team WinS had a climbing clinic at Spire Climbing
Center. We
had a great turnout for the event and learned some new skills. Everyone
got a chance to learn how to correctly tie the climbing knot and also how
to belay. Thanks to Spire for hosting the event and to Casey for her
wonderful examples and instructions. We
paired off and climbed all morning, some members even got a chance to
try some of the more difficult routes plus the bouldering room. The clinic
was a great chance to learn something new with other like minded
people.
Shooting Clinic
The
Team Wins shooting clinic at the Rising Spirits Shooting School was a
great success. Shooting a moving target can be difficult, but Doc Bradford
and Bear were great teachers and everyone at the clinic was able to hit
the clay pigeons! We learned gun safety, how to follow the target and
where to aim, and even got to shoot at "rabbits." After
a hard day of shooting, we had a potluck with delicious food and good stories.
TeamWins Spring Fling '09
We all got together for a wonderful evening of
catching up with friends, learning about and sampling some tasty beer and
potluck dishes and to hear about the exploits of one of our sponsored athletes.
Todd from Bozeman Brewing brought in three varieties of growlers
for all of us to sample with our potluck dinner. Then he gave a very
informative presentation on the basic process of brewing and the ingredients
that go into it plus the helpful benefits that drinking beer has for athletes.
Thank you Todd!
Shayla Swenson a nordic skier for the Canadian National Team
gave a wonderful speech about the trials and triumphs of training, taking
time off and then coming back and competing at a national level. Thanks
Shayla for your inspiring and encouraging talk!
