State Championship Results

I would like to thank each and every player in the White Bear Lake Ultimate program. You all did awesome and I hope that you had as much fun as I did. Both Orange and Black teams came out swinging. Black had an awesome day on Saturday, putting themselves in a position to play in the 17th place bracket. Black finished a strong 22nd in State, the second best JV/B team in the State. The Orange team proved to be one of the most fun and most exciting teams at the tournament, putting up some nice wins and exciting play. Orange finished 28th in State. 2010 is sure to be a good year. Our reputation for good spirit is paramount, and you kids proved it this weekend.

I would like to extent a huge word of thanks to coaches Amanda, Dylan, Ian, Kenny, and Whitney. As a results of their hard work and volunteer efforts, we were able to provide our student athletes with a high-quality experience. Thank you so much coaches! And thanks to all of the parents for their support of White Bear Lake Ultimate despite rain, wind, and beating sun.

Congratulations to the White Bear Lake A Team, finishing 5th in this years tournament. I am so proud of the hard work and determination of each of you. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share my experience with you. You were a great group to work with and I wish the very best for each one of you. Please carry this experience with you. Be it you next Ultimate team, school, or career. Let the lessons of this year help to guide you in your future success.
