Olympia Artesians Co-Ed Traveling Team







Hanford Howl 2005

We had a great group people, including some veterans and rookies. As a costume tourney, the team went as a cast of cartoon characters who all had a motive to kill Kenny from South Park.

The tournament was a great learning experience, thanks in large degree to our fearless captains, Corey and Jessee. They did a great job captaining, even though the entire team had to search half of Richland to look for them as they were meandering around lost. (What happened there?)

We improved tremendously throughout the weekend, playing more as a team than I have seen in a long time. For those people who missed it, or bailed out on us (steve...), you missed a fun-packed sunny weekend of ultimate.

Some of the highlights were:

Best costume: Sponge Bob (Clint). You guys gotta see the pictures of it. Check the website soon.

Best layout: Mike Santana, Sunday, game one. In the endzone for the score. The old guy can still get it done.

Bob? behave yourselfBob? behave yourself

Best Capture-the-Flag team: Corey, Clint, Molly, Jessee, Hannah, Ron, and Mike. They went 4-0 by executing a brilliant strategy, an iron-clad defense, and blatant cheating.

Worst "mingle" player: Clint. Did he really try to jump into Hannah's arms when "princess" was called?

Oly overall record for the weekend. 8-0! As Travis says, "is it win-loss, or loss-win". I can never remember. Does it really matter?.
