2 Utah teams are competing for the title at the Ultimate Frisbee High School National Invitational this weekend — which is being held in Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY — This weekend, Utah is hosting what might be one of the most exciting events of the year: the Ultimate Frisbee High School National Invitational Tournament.
Melissa Swaberg, senior and captain of the Lone Peak girls team, throws a frisbee during an ultimate frisbee game. Swaberg will be competing at the Ultimate Frisbee High School National Invitational Tournament on June 16 and 17 at the Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City. "Everyone knows what a frisbee is, but many don't know what ultimate frisbee is," he said. "Many will ask me if it's the game with the disk that you throw into a basket, which isn't the case. Ultimate is played on a soccer field, and it is a cool combination of soccer, basketball and American football all rolled into one."
"I just want people to know how fun ultimate is," she said. "It's super competitive but I'm best friends with all the people that I play with — like, even with the Seattle and the Minnesota teams. It's the coolest thing when you're jumping on to play defense, and you know who you're guarding, and you're all good friends."
