National Update-The final update

Happy New Year everyone, this is the final update for 2009. The ACIS National Championships wrapped up today. Ohio University was represented, about as well as anyone could expect. First, congratulations to Team Blackout, the sportsmanship award winners for the CoRec division. Also, Megan Crysler was first team All American in the CoRec division. As far as the officials go, we all did a fantastic job. In the end, Dan Fladda was the referee in a men's open game. Myself, Larry Baker, and Dave Robison all worked championship games. Robison was Back Judge in the CoRec final, Baker was the Back Judge in the Men's Open Final, and I was the Line Judge in the Men's Open. Robison, Baker and myself were also honored as All-American Officials.

A recap of the National tournaments. OUIM received four All-American officials: Allensworth, Baker, Indorf, and Robison.

Keep your eyes pealed for basketball regional updates later this winter.

Extramural Update Number 5

This past weekend we sent Chad Indorf, Dan Fladda, Kevin Nye, Doug Vinci, and Tim Tawab to Southern Mississippi to the final regional tournament of the year. All of our officials represented our program amazingly. Kevin Nye and Doug Vinci both were selected to be playoff officials. Tim Tawab received a quarterfinal game. Finally Dan Fladda was the back judge in the men's collegiate championship game and Chad Indorf was the referee in the men's open championship game. When all was said and done Mr. Indorf received a bid to the NIRSA Nation Championships in Tampa, Florida the last week of December.

To summarize the extramural season, Ohio University will be represented by 6 officials at the two national championships: myself, Matt Bachman, Dave Robison, Dan Fladda, and Larry Baker in New Orleans for the ACIS National Championships and Chad Indorf will be at the NIRSA National Championships in Tampa Florida. If you see or talk to these people, wish them luck.
