Flywheel made it to Nationals! It was not a fluke or one lucky play that got us there. Instead, we proved to everyone that we are a force in Women's Ultimate. No team scored more than 5 points on us (including Northwestern in the finals) the entire weekend. In fact, the final score was 78-21 after all of the games were finished. I've never been so proud of my team during one weekend. The winds were present with 25 mph winds on Saturday and 20 mph winds on Sunday. However, for the most part, we did not let that affect our throws. Its such an amazing feeling knowing that wind technically is supposed to be an equalizer on teams but that it was not the case this weekend. Out team was very excited about the next month ahead of us.
It was the best of times.
Magnum did not make it to Nationals. If we had time after our games, we went over to watch them play and cheer them on. They came over and supported our team when they finished early. However, we won our finals game during the same time that Magnum lost in Semis. Our team celebrated, took pictures, and talked about Nationals after our game, and then we decided to walk over to our guys team. It was silent. It was eerily quiet. Having a housemate, brother, and boyfriend on the team, it really broke my heart to know they didn't make it. This next month is going to be interesting with us practicing and them just chilling.
It was the worst of times.
