Senior Lauren Millslagle founded the Ultimate Frisbee Club in 2006. Senior Jocelyne Yamaguchi is current president. They wanted to share their love of the sport with other students.
Club activities take place during the school day. Members meet at lunch to start a quick game, if the weather allows it, every Wednesday. They even met during the last Thanksgiving break at Glenmoor Elementary School to play Ultimate Frisbee.
There is no real set number of people in the club because it depends on how many people show up at lunch, and Yamaguchi invites anybody willing to learn and to try it out.
“Most people don’t play Frisbee, let alone know how to throw one, but it’s really easy once you get started,” Yamaguchi said.
People in the club share Yamaguchi’s passion for the sport. Junior Dillon Green has been a member since his sophomore year and fully enjoys it.
“Jocelyne does a really good job organizing it all. It’s always fun to come out and play. It’s pretty much the best day of my week,” Green said.

In the annual alumni water polo game at the Washington pool, Oct. 17, 28 players showed up. The girls started the game off with alumni Jenna Silva of ’05, Traci Robertson of ’05, Kristy Cardone of ’06, Katie Rehnberg of ’06, Erin Carscadden of ’09, Allie Norris of ’04 and Carissa Bergman of ’98 against the current varsity girls team.
“It was great to come back and see everyone [again],” Carscadden said.
The game was even refereed, and a few fouls were called to make the game more official.
“The game was really fun, even though the alumni ended up beating us. Every one had a good time, and was really relaxed. We learned a lot in general from the alumni,” sophomore Caitlin Yamaguchi said.
The alumni boys team included Mo Dictor of ’06, Page Frakes, Joe Nilson of ’06, Cameron Brahmst of ’05, Jimmy Dunsford of ’08, Kevin DeFranco, of ’08, Richard Montgomery of ’73, Casey Cardone of ’04, Sean Nicolaysen of ‘03, James Yauch of ’02, Sean Ceballos-McGee of ’03, Matt Dring of ’08, Christ Dring of ‘05, Vincent Guevara of ’02, Randy Usedom of ’78, Scott Harvey of ’08, Jim Hassett of ’90, Nonda Kozas of ’08, A J Griffeth of ‘09 with Ken Neumeister of ’73 and Bob Dunsford of ’76.
The current varsity boys managed to keep the game close, losing by only a few points to the alumni.
