The Ripple Effect award is given to athletes whose actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or the University of Wyoming community Ben Noren, Trevor, Silas, and Derek. Ben has shared some sage advice with me about life, skiing, and women as well as made me feel at home. As for the other boys, they helped me at a time when I was at a low point. Trevor is my nomination this week, because he drove us to skiing, he hosted us last night, he helped me out a lot with all sorts of things this week, also he’s just great.

 Playing in the leaves is fun BUT skiing is better! Yay! The last full week of training before Thanksgiving Camp! Wow!!!
We want you to have at least 7 classic skis before your first skate ski SO you want to get out there this week so you can skate next week at camp!!! We will be giving everyone a chance to take an easy weekend before the amazingness of Thanksgiving Camp so if you want to head home, or go home with someone, this is the weekend! With the variable conditions things could change at any minute so pay attention and be sure you are on the GroupMe text so you get messages for changes this week. Here are the official practices for this week:
SLAY THE DRAGON! The Ripple Effect award is given to athletes whose actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or the University of Wyoming community I would like to nominate Ella. She did an amazing job organizing the benefit dinner, and she did it with such a positive attitude and smile on her face! She was so patient with everyone, even when I’m sure she was overwhelmed with all the things she had to do! Such an amazing role model for this team! I want to nominate Ella for leading the benefit dinner. The night went off super well and she created an environment that allowed lots of people to work as a team to create an amazing final product. She was so great to work with throughout the whole process! Amanda deserves a Ripple Award for the hour she spent up to her elbows in fish skins trying to dislodge them from the baking pans. It was tedious, messy work and she did it with a smile and a laugh! I want to nominate Syd, Rylie, and Ben for the Ripple Award this week. I can’t express just how much help they were with all the planning and prep for the benefit dinner. It was such a relief for be to know that when I was busy, I had such amazing people that could step in. I’d love to nominate Ella, Syd, Ben, and Ry for a ripple award for making sure that the benefit dinner was running smooth from preparing the recipes to being at the loft all day to the plating. Everything ran so smooth because of them! I’d like to thank the freshmen who were quick to respond when the team presentation plan changed I would like to nominate Sloan for the Ripple Effect because she did an amazing job cleaning up after the benefit dinner last night and she always knows how to make me laugh, motivate me, and make my day better! Rylie made my week better she helped me get ready for the benefit dinner and answered all the questions I asked since I don’t know much as a lil freshman.
 Dinner accomplished! What an amazing week! UW Nordic got a TON of yards done for raking, we got to have a lovely ski on Saturday morning and we have an extremely successful benefit dinner on Saturday night! TRULY AMAZING!

Dinner dragon slayed... The Ripple Effect award is given to athletes whose actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or the University of Wyoming community. I would like to have Maddy get the Ripple effect award! She’s been doing a lot of hard work with all the leaf raking and the Patagonia orders with little to no help. With all this stress she’s still keeping positive and HAPPY! I'd like to nominate maddy for the ripple effect for this week for all the work she has put into organizing leaf raking and the patagonia order! Maddy has been working hard getting the Patagonias and been positive and encouraging at practice and leaf raking!! I think Maddy should get the ripple effect award. I realize leaf raking and Patagonia sweaters are her job, but it's been super busy and she's doing well. Leaf raking may end up being the biggest fundraiser of the year end she's leading the charge. I would like to nominate Bryan. We had a great run on Saturday on which he shared with me his life story and he gave me some good advice about life and school and he’s been a great role model for me. Zoe was just a real friend to me this week, she helped me talk over some stuff that was bothering me, and she follows through with her commitments. For ripple effect I think we should give one to the whole team because no one felt good at all but we persevered and got 17 ish lawn done this week! ~ Maddy
Woo Hoo! Are you stoked! We are headed into the anaerobic development phase of training! Let's get FAST!!!!!
Hopefully you are well rested and healthy after the recovery last week and are ready to rock this week!

SLAY THE DRAGON! The Ripple Effect award is given to athletes whose actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or the University of Wyoming community. Kat made my weekend better :) I was a freshman with no idea what to do and she invited me to pack food with her and made me feel like less of a deer in headlights. I would like to nominate Nadia for the Ripple Effect Award. She was very helpful around the house this weekend, cleaning up and doing dishes and such :) Ben was amazing this weekend! Every time I looked up for someone to help he was there, even when there wasn't an obvious job to be done he found a way to help!
 WOOHOO! Serious Dragon Slayage and Jungle Tiger happened this weekend! What an amazing weekend of beastly training!
This week should be less hours and easier, looking for some rest after the first real speed of the fall! Team Training
The Dragon Slaying was EPIC this weekend. Time to let everyone recover for the next adventure!  First beautiful snow of the year! Yay FORO! !!!!!
This week is one of the most fun and badass of the entire year! Fort Robinson Speed Camp! This will be a super fun and super hard weekend of team bonding, good food, art activities, information and most of all AWESOME TRAINING! Our first chance to really bust out into true speed work! Here is the information for the weekend. FORO Information We want you firing on all cylinders this weekend at FORO so we will be having a little easier week. This is by design so please take time to take a nap and rest up for this weekend. Don't use the extra time to pound out more hours, we want DOMINATION this weekend! REMINDER: UW athletes be sure to check your practice and volunteer points at the following link. If you do not meet the numbers for your chosen team you will not be able to race this winter. If you have conflicts and are training on your own be sure to contact coaches, there are things that can be done but they cannot be done in December!

The Ripple Effect award is given to athletes whose actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or the University of Wyoming community. I wanted to nominate Ella for the ripple effect. She’s always positive and engaged and she always makes sure people feel included. Ella made my week better! I was injured this week and she still supported me and tried to help anyway she could. I would like to nominate Trevor. He’s just done a great job of being inclusive of everyone and made me feel like an important member of the team.
