Woodsmen Team Spring Meet!

Congratulations to the UMaine Woodsmen Team!
They won their home meet in March on a gorgeous Saturday morning after facing the responsibilities of coordinating this all-day event, hosting Unity College, the University of New Hampshire and the University of New Brunswick, and partaking in daily practices on painfully chilly 6am mornings in “The Shed.”

Check out the MaineCampus’ student newspaper article and here are some pictures of the action with custom captions, courtesy of Graduate student Joseph Pekol:
