Ultimate Frisbee

Coach: Rich Young

Last year’s record: Undefeated in the regular season; fifth at States

Outlook: “We love playing,” says Young, “and Merriconeag really embodies the spirit of the game. In ultimate, team members make their own calls, relying on close cooperation between players on both sides rather than on referees. This cooperative element, combined with hard playing, makes ultimate a great fit for Merriconeag, where sportsmanship and athleticism go hand-in-hand.” Young adds a nod to Sylvie Fenderson and Davis Ritger, who’ve “stepped up this year by helping to organize the team, recruit players and run practices.”
