Timberbeast 2013

In an awesome display of perseverance and skill, Warren Wilson's new Timbersports team took fourth place overall at this year's Timberbeast competition in February. The "woodsman's meet" included events such as axe throwing, log roll, pulpwood toss, underhand chop, dendrology, and compass and pacing. Highlights included Caleb Hawkins and Hannah Billian winning first place in stock saw, and Hannah and Rhys Williams winning second place in dendrology. The competition was not only a lot of fun, but also a great opportunity for students to network with other forestry students from southeastern colleges. The sportsmanship displayed by all competitors was incredible. The Warren Wilson team plans on attending another timbersports meet in Tennessee, in April.
