NIRSA NCCS Flag Football National Championships

Hello Again,

Well everyone it is the final update for flag football for this season. It comes action packed with highlights from the NIRSA NCCS National Flag Football Championships in Tampa, Florida. OUIM sent Ian Swoboda to officiate in the championships, and did a stand up job. The last day of the event, he had the privelege to referee a highly contested men's semi-final, and was the line judge in the women's final. Unlike at the ACIS National tournament where being in a final did not guarantee you the recognition of being All-American, at NIRSA it did. Thus because Ian was the line judge in the women's final, he is OU's 3rd and final All-American of the season. Please congratulate him if you see or talk to him!

This being a final post for the flag football season, here is the wrap-up:

OUIM sent 25 officials to 10 different regionals or state tournaments, and 2 national tournaments. At the end of the regional and state tournaments, Preston Carr, Greg Allensworth, John Mason, and Ian Swoboda were named All-Tournament officials. Making the voyage to the ACIS National tournament was John Mason, Greg Allensworth, and Dan Fladda, while Ian Swoboda travelled to Tampa for the NIRSA National Championships. When the national tournaments were finished OUIM came away with 3 All-American officials: Ian Swoboda, Dan Fladda, and Greg Allensworth.
