EUGENE (AP) - For college football players, the Heisman Trophy is the ultimate prize. In college basketball, it's the Naismith and John R. Wooden awards.
And for Ultimate Frisbee, there's the Callahan Award.
This year's Callahans go to Ben Wiggins and Chelsea Dengler, who both play Ultimate for the men's and women's club teams at the University of Oregon. Players from around the country voted on the award.
"I found out from my mom on the telephone," said Dengler. "I actually started crying."
Both Wiggins and Dengler were awarded for both their skill and sportsmanship in a sport that is something like football with a Frisbee. |
