We went to Mankato, Minnesota. Talk about having a long time to travel. The trip took us five hours to get there and back. The good thing is we all like one another on the team and I tell you that really makes the difference. Sometimes, when teammates spend a lot of time together they can get kind of crabby. And, through the whole entire trip we&#8217;ve slept, ate, cried in the cold and went shopping! (Not something we usually do but&#8230;) Last year we had a girls trip and the travel was fine but we did not do well as competitors. This time we took 3rd overall as a team. Here is the recap from our head coach Jim Disrude:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theworldofforensics\/files\/2017\/10\/Snapchat-798010143.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-91\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theworldofforensics\/files\/2017\/10\/Snapchat-798010143-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"Snapchat-798010143\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theworldofforensics\/files\/2017\/10\/Snapchat-798010143-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theworldofforensics\/files\/2017\/10\/Snapchat-798010143-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theworldofforensics\/files\/2017\/10\/Snapchat-798010143.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Forensics team took third-place out of twenty teams at the Vocal Viking, Oct. 27th-28th in Mankato, Minnesota.
