skating rink, paintball facilities, and Menomonie High School. Our clubs represent Stout well within the community and various places around the country competing.

The Sport Club Commission oversees the different sport clubs currently available to students. The Commission ensures that all clubs are informed of all pertinent information, get questions answered, and make things run smoothly for clubs. This year the Sport Club Commission was led by the Director of Recreation, Lori Anda and Sport Clubs Advisor Laura Evans, and four Executive Board members President Maddie Ramich, Vice President Kai Guthrie, Safety

and Risk Chair Sarah Spitzmueller and Marketing Chair Cole Hefty. The Executive Board provided assistance to Lori and Laura, and individual clubs as necessary, as well as assisted in the daily operations of Sport Clubs. Each Executive Board member also acts as an advisor for a group of 6-8 Sport Clubs. At the end of the academic year, Matthew Schauf was hired as the new Sport Clubs Coordinator and will be taking over in that role for the fall of 2018.
