Guess something else that falls a month from yesterday...

Other than the International Day of Climate Action, silly! In one month, F&M Ultimate will field its first women's alumni (alumnae?) team. This is history, people.

It seems fitting that the tenth anniversary of HIAAP would coincide with the fortieth anniversary of coeducation at F&M, which coincides with the first time Code Blue has had enough graduates to put up a line. We're getting crazy with commemoration here. But ten years of rockin' Ultimate and forty years of women? We aren't commemorating the emergence of a totally awesome sport, nor are we marking equal opportunity education. We're celebrating the first really good parties in Lancaster.

So when Sam says we're excited to field two alumni teams this year at our home tournament, what he means is that we're excited to field three alumni teams this year — a team of older alums, a team of younger alums, and a team of women alums. So ladies, get excited, get in shape, get emailing. Let me know ASAP (jmitche1@fandm.edu) if you are interested in joining the Code Blue Alumna Team at the home tourney in a few weeks!
