February has been a busy month for the Dodgeball Club. We’ve been on the road twice and hosted UWP Alumni at our home tournament. Also, we have been busy in practice trying to implement new drills and play more aggressively. That being said, it is a great time to recognize two players who stood out among the rest. It is my pleasure to congratulate Caleb Laux and Dalton Foreyt on being awarded the Baller and Rookie awards for the month of February.
Caleb Laux, from Waukesha, is a fourth-year mechanical engineering student and a third-year dodgeball veteran. Through his internships, Caleb has become familiar with water pumps and may even see himself doing it in the future as a career. Caleb’s low, accurate throws and his great catching skills will help put us ahead of the competition at Nationals this year.
- What’s your favorite and least favorite parts about practice?
Favorite parts of practice are full court skirmishes. Least favorite part is whenever my arm hurts.
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years I’ll probably end up doing engineering work in Mukwonago.
- What’s your pre-tournament ritual?
I like to listen to some music and say a quick prayer while I’m warming up before a tournament.
- If you could drink one beer for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- Great choice Caleb, High Life truly is the Champagne of beers!
Dalton is freshman marketing major from Fennimore, WI. Since joining the team this Fall, Dalton has taken an interest in getting his grip throw down and has spent some extra time working with our Coach. Also, Dalton has gone to the past two away tournaments at GVSU and Akron, where he has gotten some great exposure to high-ranked teams. Everyone on the team is looking forward to Dalton showing off his new throw at this upcoming Nationals tournament.
- How does it feel to be recognized as slightly above average?
I feel good for being recognized.
- If life were a DND game, what would your character be?
I would be a dwarf bard.
- This is a big one, what’s your favorite color dodgeball?
Purple is my favorite dodgeball color.
- A man of few words, yet what an exquisite choice of dodgeball.
