NEWPORT–Peter Alexander is looking for an alternative to the regular selection of spring sports offered at North Country Union High School.
Since the day he saw a spread about ultimate frisbee in a newspaper roughly a year ago, he has been on a mission to bring the sport up to Falcon Country.
"It was a story about the state championship in St. Johnsbury, hosted by Lyndon. So I buzzed down there after sending an email to the two coaches," he said.
Since viewing the action last May, he has been hooked.
MONTPELIER–NCU’s trip to U-32 was highlighted by the boys’ first place finish at the event.
Barry Shelton, Riley Simoneau and Jason Webster all threw over 40’ to sweep the shot put.
Simoneau, Shelton, Josh Brien and Webster finished 2 – 5 in the discus.
Colton White, after a two week exchange trip to Germany and a starring role in the IMusical, returned to the team, taking 2nd in the javelin. He hopes to return to the form that qualified him for the New England championships last year.
