I'm back in Fredericksburg competing in the 47th annual Virginia States Frisbee Tournament. It's my 9th time competing in one of the oldest Frisbee tournaments in the world! It's a privilege to be the only Canadian competing overall and to represent my country in such a special event.
VA States is a 6 event overall flying disc competition that tests every aspect of our skills. The 6 events are: Accuracy, Disc Golf, Distance, Double Disc Court (DDC), Freestyle, and Maximum Time Aloft (MTA).
The winner of the MTA event will receive a Mr. Bubble trophy in honor of Pryor Hendrix, who threw a Mr. Bubble Fastback during the competition.
In my 8 appearances, my best finish was 2nd place overall in 2018. I have won 6 distance titles including the Virginia state distance record in 2018 with a throw of 212 feet, which remains one of my proudest accomplishments, and I have been awarded 2 Mr. Bubble Trophies as MTA Champion.
My first competition here was in 2012, and the last competition was in 2019 before the world changed due to Covid. Coming back feels like a family reunion, and I'm so excited to see everyone back at Shelter H. I've missed the competition, the community, and the pure joy of playing Frisbee with so many of my friends.
I am incredibly grateful to Horizon Heating for their continued support as my sponsor for this year's VA States. Horizon Heating has supported me since their first sponsorship in 2011 at the WFDF World Overall Flying Disc Competition. Thank you, Horizon Heating, for sticking by my side through every throw and catch – your support fuels my passion and drive to excel in every competition I enter.
