The UPS Postmen were founded in 2004 by a small group of enthusiastic freshman and one sophomore, under the coaching abilities of then Assistant Professor Cathal Woods. While the ultimate frisbee team started as a coed group, the women split off in 2005 to form the women's team UPS Clearcut. The coaching duties for the Postmen during the 2005-2006 were handed to Zach Entwhistle.
This year, local ultimate enthusiasts Adam Larsen and Sean Lindsey are co-coaching the Postmen and Josh Hiltunen is coaching the UPS Clearcut. Larsen played ultimate for Oxford University, and Lindsey is a local school teacher. Captains this year are Adam Nishimura and Dylan Gitlin. Long-standing members also include Alex Paauwe, Justine Smith, Elliot Trotter and Yao Zhao.
In their early years the Postmen had a rough history, but with steadily improving roster and abilities, they've recently defeated local rivals PLU Reign (currently ranked 102 in the nation) in a scrimmage and intend to do some serious damage this year. The Postmen and Clearcut will be playing in the upcoming tournaments PLU BBQ (March 10-11) and Dirty Deeds (March 17-18).
• Adam Restad performed well in his writing debut, next step, conquer the world.
