Hey everyone! So a brief introduction…My name is Christy Cheung and I currently play with the University of Kansas Bettys! I first started playing with the Bettys during the Fall of 2009 <something that should have happened much sooner!>. I am currently co-captaining the Bettys, along with Sarah Burns & Kay Thomason, and was a part of the 2010 club mixed team, Threat Level Midnight.
alright so here’s my story …
The beginning of my ultimate journey really started in high school with my older cousin, Terry, who was a past Zontal <our men’s team>. He was the guy that introduced me to this sport–which honestly at the time I didn’t see what all the hype was about. ha.
I started my freshman year at KU during the Fall of 2007 and what was the first thing on my mind? … get on the club soccer team… <ha..i didn’t make the team>. During my Spring semester I realized that I missed sports too much and NEEDED to get on some type of team. Solution: Rugby. haha. Alright, so it was fun no doubt and I made a lot of new friends but after about a season and a half <still unable to tackle a person for the life of me> I realized it wasn’t the sport I was looking for. Going into the summer of my junior year, my cousin finally convinced me to sign up for the local Frisbee summer league with him–this is when ultimate really took off for me! I met some stellar people that summer and really got my first hand experience of the ultimate community. I finally decided to give the Bettys a chance….and it’s been an ultimate journey so far!
