"Jules"" and "Mantis"" met as rookies on OSU’s frisbee team in 2010. Ever since being nicknamed "the twin towers"" (ugh), they have been clowning through life together. They share a passion for great food, frisbee, and being tall and lanky, but are pretty different in most other ways. They have spent many years living in different cities, but manage to somehow reunite many times per year. Conversations often come with a good eye roll, but love is shared nonetheless.

Cassie and Emmy lived on the same floor freshman year at OSU. Although they did not hang out that year much that year, Cassie is the reason Emmy finally tried out for “Fever”, the ultimate Frisbee team. We can thank Cassie for putting this sport in my life, which led me to years of competition, friendship, and to Austin! Now, although Cassie lives in Nederland, Colorado, Emmy and Austin visit often with their trailer, and use any excuse they can to hike, play games, and share COVID with one another.

Paige and Emmy also met on the frisbee field (surprise!). Learning the sport together, they quickly discovered that they both were from Cincinnati, had family lake houses at Lake Waynoka, and shared a love of competition and travel. They have spent years as roommates, and years across the country from one another, but they will always find time for a phone call, workout, or adventure trip.

Janine was Emmy’s first Frisbee captain at OSU, gave her the nickname “Mantis”, and pulled her into a crew of friendships that will last a lifetime. When Emmy moved to Vermont after college, it was Janine's moving support, daily commuting phone calls, annual visits for maple lattes and leaf peeping hikes that kept Emmy feeling connected to her Ohio roots. Janine and Emmy are great travel buddies because they both require 8 hours of sleep, lots of snacks, and mountain views.

Matt and Austin met at BGSU where they played on the club ultimate frisbee team together. They found that they had actually met in kindergarten before Matt moved to another nearby town. Their friendship continued after leaving college. Today they spend time together going on hikes and building projects together.

Toby is the oldest of four children while Austin is the youngest. This age gap was apparent while growing up, but that did not stop them from growing closer as adults. Toby and Austin's similar demeanor is often pointed out.

Nick was the captain of the BGSU club ultimate frisbee team when Austin joined the team. Austin looked up to Nick as a mentor on the field and they often hung out together during college. Spending a summer as roommates after college only brought them closer. Nick has moved across the country but they still see each other at least once per year.

Ryan is the heart and soul of the Cincinnati club frisbee team, Steamboat, on which Austin plays. They have been teammates together since 2016 on Steamboat and played a few one off tournament teams as early as 2010.
