Extramural Update 3

This weekend was a busy weekend for the officials of OUIM. We travelled to two tournaments. We sent Ben Strunk and John Mason to The Ohio State University a long with Brad Whittaker and Brian Beam to be on the officials' committee. We also sent Preston Carr and Ian Swoboda to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where alumni Chad Indorf and Tommy Segi were on the officials' committee.

Carr and Swoboda both did a very good job. Upon arrivial, Carr was named a crew chief. After officiating 10 plus games on Saturday, both were selected to officiate in the CoRec Semi-Finals. Carr was the line judge and Swoboda was the field judge in a hotly contested game.

Strunk and Mason also did a great job at The Ohio State University. Both went a made heads turn. Strunk was the referee in a men's quarter final that had multiple over times and was also the line judge in a CoRec semi-final. Mason also did a phenominal job. He was the referee in the CoRec final, and also named an all-tournament official, earning a bid to the ACIS National tournament in New Orleans.

After this past weekend it takes the OUIM total to 3 who will be attending nationals. Next weekend Fladda, Allensworth, and Nye will be travelling to West Florida, while the brothers Carr will be travelling with Beam to Iowa. Please congratulate Mason, Strunk, Carr, and Swoboda on a job well done, and wish the officials travelling this upcoming weekend good-luck.
