Chin. The team, despite its members coming<br />
from different disciplines, is united by a<br />
common passion for writing and literature. It<br />
received impressive numbers of high-quality<br />
submissions from <strong>College</strong> members in the<br />
form of poems, short stories, academic<br />
pieces, drawings and paintings. It was a joy<br />
editing this amazing work, and very hard to<br />
decide which pieces there was no space<br />
for. When the new theme is revealed in<br />
Michaelmas, we urge everyone to submit<br />
contributions to the next Romulus.<br />
Squash<br />
by Ravinda Gunaratne<br />
The Club has had a great<br />
year and, despite losing a<br />
couple of top players after graduation,<br />
it managed to field two teams of<br />
five in the college leagues. Despite<br />
an early Cuppers exit, the first team<br />
gained promotion to the top League in<br />
Michaelmas, only to be demoted again<br />
after a tough Hilary. But with many of<br />
our new players staying on, we hope<br />
to mount a fresh challenge next year.<br />
Running<br />
by Emily Warner<br />
The Club has enjoyed another<br />
successful year, building on the momentum<br />
created by Tom Carruthers during his time<br />
as President 2016–18. We have continued<br />
to meet twice a week for a social run and<br />
intervals session: the company of other<br />
Wolfson runners was particularly welcome<br />
during the dark winter evenings.<br />
Four members ran in the Oxford halfmarathon:<br />
Jon Connolly, Andreas Lauritzen,<br />
Kevin Schlegel and Lorel Scriven. We also<br />
entered a mixed team in the Teddy Hall<br />
Relays: Tom Carruthers, Peter Guevera, Emily<br />
Warner and Kim Fuellenbach. We were<br />
pleased to come tenth in our category, as<br />
the second-fastest mixed college team, with<br />
a strong run by Tom giving us our fastest leg.<br />
The Club continues to welcome runners of<br />
all abilities, and aims at providing a friendly<br />
and sociable environment for everyone to<br />
enjoy running. We have enjoyed exploring<br />
off-road routes around the Wolfson<br />
Meadows and in Port Meadow, and our pub<br />
runs have proved particularly popular. If you<br />
haven’t joined us already, then next year is<br />
your chance to get running.<br />
Tennis<br />
by Thomas Chen<br />
The Club welcomes<br />
beginners to the sport<br />
as well as advanced players, and<br />
regular players found Wolfson’s two<br />
courts remained in great condition<br />
throughout the year. As in previous<br />
years, the Club has organised weekly<br />
subsidised coaching sessions by a<br />
professional coach, an opportunity<br />
which has attracted many new<br />
members. A relatively small group of<br />
players participated in the University<br />
tennis league, where we play in the<br />
third division. We had some successes,<br />
and are currently in third position.<br />
Ultimate Frisbee<br />
by Edward Miller<br />
The University Ultimate<br />
Frisbee league is a weekly<br />
competition between<br />
colleges culminating in a single-day<br />
‘Cuppers’ in May. This year Wolfson<br />
combined with St Anne’s and did<br />
respectably, our team finishing fourth<br />
out of ten.<br />
