Streamlinin a New Seaso Swimming is all about the good times – and the officers and returning members of the Appalachian State Swim Club could not be more excited to create more good times this year. With the force of a 60+ team roster, the club is taking over the SRC pool again in the evenings and heating things up in the water. The team is also back to taking full advantage of the Central dining halls for team dinners after those caloriedraining practices. The team is currently on the practice grind in preparation for the first meet of the 2017-2018 season, and also the second home meet of the 2017 year, on Saturday, September 30th. The meet is traditionally known as the “High Country Invitational Meet.” This time around, the team will be possibly hosting over ten other collegiate swim clubs here in the high country who have already expressed interest in competing; the list 4
includes: Clemson, UNCG, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Duke, UNCW, Coastal Carolina, and Elon! If any university community members are interested in volunteering to help for this event, timers and a set-up crew are desperately needed to make the High Country Invitational operate swimmingly. Looking into the future, the club team plans on going to at least two other travel meets in October and November for this fall semester. Even though nothing is finalized, possible meets include going to Myrtle Beach for Coastal Carolina University, Knoxville for the University of Tennessee, Clemson, and Raleigh for N.C. State. Inside and outside the pool, this team continues to be a community of athletes that give their all to Appalachian State University every day in all aspects, inside and outside the pool. One of the

newest members of our team, Lindsey Wise, a freshman from Simpsonville, South Carolina had recently been awarded the coveted Chancellor’s Scholarship for the 2017-2018 year! As a potential Mathematics and Studio Art major, Lindsey is currently partnered with a local community college professor to conduct a year-long research project on color-recursive visual cryptography and has completed and presented two artistic portfolios. Way to go Lindsey!

There’s Snow Possible Way These Puns Can Get Any Worse. Alpine Ski Claire Biaggi | Club Sports Representative
To ski or not to ski, that is not a question here on the Appalachian State Alpine Ski Team. The Ski Team is one of Club Sport’s oldest teams and we are associated with races supported by USCSA Southeast Conference. The team mainly does Slalom and Grand Slalom racecourses. We are open to all levels of skiers and even offer coaching to those who have never raced before. Our competition season begins in January and ends midFebruary. We normally have dry lands in the fall, which usually consist of runs around campus and hikes, as well as Trikke sessions with Dr. K. During the racing season, we travel to mountains in Virginia and Sugar Mountain here in North Carolina to compete against schools that are apart of USCSA Southeast 6

Conference. We get to meet amazing racers from JMU, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Virginia Tech, and NC State. This past year, the men’s team placed first in the conference and the women’s team placed fourth overall! We recently had our first interest meeting on September 6th and about 29 people signed up, which is amazing. A few of them have already filled out the electronic MIC and many have joined our App Sync page. We are so excited to see our team grow and meet all the new ski bums and racers.
Club Sports Illustrated // Issue No. 86
For the fall semester, since our racing season does not start until spring semester, we currently have some plans to hike and team dinners where we can bond before the season begins. We have a Trikke session on Monday, September 19th at 5:30 at Watauga High School. We hope to ski you there. Have an ice day!

Hello Men's Ultimate Myles Grady | Secretary
The Nomads have begun practicing in this wonderful fall Boone weather again, and it couldn’t have come soon enough. The lads have been grinding harder than Caleb Louie’s teeth at night when he sleeps over this past summer, and really have shown that improvement at our first couple of practices. Our captains/presidents this year really have locked the team in and we are burning and turning when were on the pitch or SRC 3rd floor. Historically SRC 3rd floor practices have been kinda weak sauce in term of putting in that real work. But the two we’ve had so far this year have me and the guys huffing and puffing at the end. Shoutout to Otto and Matty for that. In other news our fundraising chair is an absolute genius when it comes to earning that

cold hard cash. The first day of school, the Nomads had a fundraiser that night at the ever satisfying Come Back Shack. Thanks to Chris we were able to pull in 25% of profits from the people who mentioned that they were with the Nomads. Although we didn’t reach our goal of $300,000, people showed out, ate some dank burgers and shakes, and had some nice laughs. So shoutout to Chris “Iceman” Martin. The Nomads will be traveling to Charlotte this weekend for what some teams are calling “Warriors vs. Cavs round 4”. This has the material to be an instant classic in the Ultimate world. I’m talking Duke will be there, so you never know if Marvin Bagley will hop on the field. Wake Forest will also be there, so we are planning to have to face a tough matchup of Chris Paul and Tim Duncan. This is the first time since I
Club Sports Illustrated // Issue No. 86
have been here that the Nomads have had enough people to go to a tournament with a split squad. Countless advantages to rolling up with a split squad to the first tournament: 1) numbers, aka super intimidating. 2) more playing time, this helps with everybody. Rooks get their first experience in real games and vets can smooth out some kinks in their game. 3) more high fives per capita. It’s been great throwing some Frisbee again but just as good writing some Club Sports Illustrated articles as well. I would like to dedicate the last portion of my article to Ian Hensley. Ian, they were the best of times, and they were the worst of times. I hope you’re doing well wherever you are and even though we only met once at the Club Sports banquet, you’re a great guy. Adios to a real one.

NEY men's lacrosse Michael Fifield | Treasurer
The Appalachian State Men’s Lacrosse team is off to a strong start this fall, both on and off the field. With two weeks of practice under our belts, the team has been growing as a cohesive unit, showcasing a healthy blend of new and familiar faces. The experience of our returners is met by a willingness to learn and adjust by our new players, which is setting the stage for an even stronger showing this upcoming season. Looking back on the conclusion of last season, we fell short in the SELC Quarterfinals, losing to Florida Gulf Coast University 8-6 in heartbreaking fashion. For all of our returning players, and those new players who followed the team last year, this game has left a bitter taste in our mouths and has been the foundation for the goals we have set for this year. The biggest goal on everyone’s mind is a National Championship, but we have a long way to go before we get there.
The first step of our journey begins on Sunday, September 24th when Wake Forest comes to play us at State Farm Fields. Wake is a common opponent for us, playing them every year in both fall-ball and regular season. Reflecting on the match up last year, both games were hard fought battles. In the fall, we were able to hold off a late game comeback to escape with a 7-6 win. In the spring, the roles were somewhat reversed. We found ourselves down 10-5 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, but the team came together when it mattered most and we went home with a 14-11 victory. Leading up to this matchup, we are excited to see the further development of onfield chemistry between our new players and our returners. We anticipate a hard fought game, but expect to start off our fall campaign with a victory at home. Please come out and support your Mountaineers: 2pm Saturday, September 24th, 2017 State Farm Fields

Last weekend marked the annual Hunt Seat and Dressage open house interest meeting for the Equestrian Team. The Open Houses are awesome events the team holds where potential riders drive to Taylorsville, NC to ride at Foothills Farm or to Morganton, NC to ride at Mimosa Hills Farm. This allows new riders to meet the trainers they will be working with and some of the sweet horses that are part of the lesson program. Riders are also assessed by coaches and then fill out forms with their past show experience to see where they place under IHSA guidelines. An exciting occurrence is the add-on of Walk-Trot riders, which is a
category we left empty most of last year. This allows the team to have more riders to compete and to place higher in competitions.
disciplines or remain noncompeting. This aspect of our team is unique, as varsity teams are based on all members competing.
The western barn, Mimosa Hills Farm, also held their Open House on September 1st. Much of the same experience happens at the western barn such as evaluations and being able to meet their coach and horses. The difference is in the discipline. With the equestrian team housing three different disciplines under our name, we have so many options to choose from. Riders are also able to pick if they would like to compete in any of the
Noncompeting is one of the best parts of the Appalachian State equestrian team because it allows beginners to take as little or as much a part as they like. We love that we can have such a diverse range of experience, making our team and riders stronger. The amount of interest and range of members is making us look even more forward to this coming year, and we can’t wait to see where we will go from here!

wOMEN'S RUGBY Ragan Dalton | New Player The AHO Women’s Rugby Club season is right around the corner. As the first match is approaching quickly, AHO held its first annual Rookie Camp. Rugby was always an interesting concept to me, and coming into college, I knew that I wanted to try it out. As a four-sport athlete in high school, I did not want to lose the bonds and experiences I had while being a part of a team. For me, club rugby is filling those gaps that I did not want to lose. It’s all about trying something new. Being on a club team, still allows for the competitive edge, and allows you the opportunity
to get out and play other schools. Rugby can be described as, “one of the most exciting contact sports in existence, a perfect mix of the speed and movement of soccer and the hard-hitting nature of football.” Over the two days of Rookie Camp, the team was able to improve immensely. As a team, we were most importantly able to build our communication skills and teamwork, while also improving our fitness levels. Throughout the weekend the team was able to refine rucking and tackling skills, along with improving individual skills. This was able to be accomplished
through many drills, games and scrimmages. Honestly, what helped me learn the most was putting ‘all of the pieces together’ in a scrimmage. I would also like to give a huge shout out and thank-you to the Charlotte coaches; Brad Richards, Amanda, Jen Moser and Brianna Carlton! They were always able to offer advice, answer any question, make any adjustments that were needed, and weren’t afraid to get into the drills with us. Come out and support the AHO rugby team this fall!

With only a few weeks to prepare for our first tournament we are confident in our ability to play together and preform as expected. I interviewed Gracie Cameron, the Vice President of the Women’s Club Basketball team. I asked her what her input was on how practices were going so far this year. “I love how quickly we were able to get into the swing of things, especially our newcomers who have shown boundless amounts of potential, not including our returners who are looking as sharp as ever.”

This weekend the team stayed close-by to race at the Lees McRae mountain bike weekend. They typically host an extremely technical and challenging XC race, and this year was no different. We started below the Mill Pond and sprinted up the gravel road to the start of the trail. It was tough climbing right at the start, and we had to fight for position along the climbing switchbacks to the top of the mountain. It was about 300 feet of climbing in the first mile and a half. The descent was worth it though, and we were sent down a technical rock garden and most of the downhill run during the XC course. The mud was slippery on the rocks and I personally crashed a few times, but luckily neither my bike nor myself got hurt. I was able to get 4th for Women’s A’s, and Kyle Ellis got a strong 3rd place among a competitive Men’s A field. Matt Jones also fought hard for a top 20 spot in the Men’s A race, and Maryann Riley took a well earned top 15 spot for Women’s As. In the afternoon races, first year racer Sloane Brandon battled her way to 3rd for Women’s Bs.
in the slippery conditions. Downhill races are timed to the millisecond, and racers push themselves to speed down the track as fast as possible to get the quickest time. We had two racers represent App State- Eric Magyar in Men’s B’s raced to 14th place, and new racer River Pyle earned 4th place for Men’s C’s.
The downhill race started at the top of the Grandfather Home Christmas tree farm, and wound all the way down the mountain to the mill pond. It included some technical rock gardens, steep drops, and wooden jumps for bold riders to test their limits
It was a great weekend of tough racing and challenging conditions, and I’m excited to continue to see strong results from our team in the races to come. Stay tuned for next weekend at Virginia Tech!
Short track was held at a different part of campus next to the dual slalom course. It started on the grass but quickly climbed up into the woods, went over a log pile, and wound down to a creek crossing before circling back to the grass. Men’s A had the first race of the day, and fought through a brutal 30 minutes of fast paced racing that ended with Kyle Ellis in an impressive 2nd place. Zeb Ramsbotham earned 18th place, and Matt Jones unfortunately got a flat tire after jumping the creek crossing during one of the laps and was pulled in 26th place. The women’s A race followed, and I won my first race in this conference, followed by Maryann Riley in 13th place.

BRUCE PARRIS
ROWAN PARRIS archery Rowan Parris | President Sure, everyone’s heard of Robin Hood, but few people realize how much fun and accessible taking up Archery as a sport can be. Check out these four common myths, and then I hope you’ll give Appalachian Archery a shot this season. “I’M NOT STRONG ENOUGH.” Everyone starts small in Archery. I shot my first bow at eighteen months old; do you think I was hitting the gym at that age? Most people start shooting very light bows, and only work up to higher poundage bows with years of practice, as their muscles become accustomed to pulling a bow back. Only shoot what you’re comfortable with. You don’t need to be Oliver Queen to enjoy archery. “ARCHERY MUST BE REALLY DANGEROUS, RIGHT?!” Wrong! Believe it or not, Archery is considered the third safest sport, behind only ping pong and badminton. Archers take
safety very seriously in our sport, taking care to treat bows and arrows like the tools they are, and not toys. If you come out to a practice some time, you’ll learn all of our safety procedures first thing, and be ready to enjoy the sport with all of the thrill and none of the risk. “ISN’T ALL THAT EQUIPMENT EXPENSIVE?” Archery is only as expensive as you make it. Sure, there are the gearheads who buy all the latest and greatest gadgets, but there are also archers who have just as much fun with their handmade self-bows. Plus, don’t forget that the Archery Team has the most inexpensive club sports dues on campus. On our team, new members also benefit from being able to try out our club bows for a while before buying your very own equipment that suits your personality and your budget.
Archery isn’t just about hitting the bulls-eye. It’s about challenging yourself, stepping out of your comfort zone, and having a great time doing it. There are lots of different styles of archery, both in the classes you shoot, and the tournaments in which you compete. You can try out the traditional stick-andstring, or test your skills on a compound bow. You can shoot Olympic or Vegas paper targets, or hike through the woods slinging arrows at 3D targets. You can shoot for fun or go for the gold. The possibilities are endless. Now that some of the misconceptions about my favorite sport have been shot down, I hope you’ll come check out our next meeting on Tuesday, September 19th, at 7:30pm in Belk Library Room 114, and join us on Facebook to see what we’re up to!

Everyone is getting back into the grove of classes and slowing getting closer to the winter season. We are very impatient but will have to wait this warmer weather out. While it’s been warmer we have been out at the DIY skate spot shredding and enjoying the last days there. We have some exciting things coming up for the team! Our first interest meeting was September 14th at 8:30pm in room 62 in the Holmes Convocation Center. Come through if you are at all interested! We are looking forward to having our “pros night” at Recess. On that night they will be giving us some great discounts and first dibs on some new gear. JP and the crew at Recess have helped us tremendously over the last few seasons. We are looking forward to helping them more this year. If you haven’t checked out Recess, GO. We also are trying to partner up with Monster Energy and have some exciting stuff in the developing stages. For now all we can do is hope for colder weather and set up the team the best we can so we can dive into the season.

The past two weeks have been full of excitement for the Fencing Team. Our first three practices saw record-breaking attendance with over 30 participants coming out. We’re excited to welcome tons of great people to our team this year. Lots of the new teammates have prior experience with fencing, but many of them have never touched a weapon before. This is an exciting opportunity for them to get involved in our team, Club Sports, and the fencing community as a whole. Over the weekend, our members had a great time at SGA’s first

We also had a lot of fun cheering on the Mountaineers at the season’s first home football game and exploring Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia. We’re thankful to have a few weekends at home before our fall tournament schedule begins! The first stop on our list will be UNC Greensboro. On Saturday, September 23rd, UNCG Fencing will be hosting a beginnerfriendly tournament specifically for new fencers. This will be the
Club Sports Illustrated // Issue No. 86
first competition for many of our new teammates and we’re excited to see them discover the world of competitive collegiate fencing. The following day, Sunday, will be an open tournament for women fencers of all skill levels. Later in October, we have hopes to make our first trip to UNC Chapel Hill, where we will likely face some very tough competition. Clemson and Georgia Tech are two other possible destinations for us later in the semester. fencing Lauren Brackett | Vice President

execut At the first Council meeting on August 31st 2017, the Executives asked all of the team representatives what they wanted to get out of council this year. We had a lot of great suggestions and ideas from the teams about their expectations for the year. From these ideas myself, and the other Executives came up with four different committees to achieve these goals. The four committees each have a different purpose for the semester and a long-term goal for the year. The four committees include Community Service, Fundraising, Banner/ Publicity, and Field Space and Equipment. Each team had the opportunity to choose which committee they wanted to serve on. During Council on September 13th, we broke
30
off into our committees and started to plan for our different goals. The Community Service committee has plans for a tournament that will collect canned food as entry into the tournament. They plan to donate the cans to the Hospitality House in Boone. The Fundraising committee is working on different ways to fundraise for the Club Sports Program. They came up with ideas to make stickers or buttons and sell them to all Appalachian State students. They also mentioned possibly a gaming tournament to fundraise. The Banner/Publicity committee is working on planning a new banner photo with all 23 teams pictured. They will also be working closely with Jarod, our
Club Sports Illustrated // Issue No. 86
publicity programmer to get a social media takeover, and other publicity needs for each team. The Field Space and Equipment committees will be working on a survey to send out to all students, and coming up with a budget for different equipment needs. Their longterm goal is to make a proposal to the Board of Trustees about what to do with the newly acquired property where the old high school used to be. I feel as if these committees will be very successful and beneficial to all teams in the Club Sport Program. I cannot wait to see what we can do as a council and the legacy we leave as the 2017-2018 Club Sports Council. Stay tuned to see what these amazing committees have in store for this year!
