In April some students at Beloit played Ult Frisbee for 72 hours.

It's an exhausting sport. My aim sucks in it.

Ultimate is sweet. To bad many people don't recognize it as a sport. In fact its the third most aerobic sport after swimmning and running.

it was first played at CHS. that doesn't mean it was invented there.

notice how CHS lore tells you "it was invented at CHS when student whatshisname brought it back from summer camp at northfield mount hermon.

(but wait, that's not inventing it)

It was invented at Amherst College by some students. one of them was a counsuler at thet summer camp and taught it to whatshisname. CHS built the first team, they didn't invent the sport.

Well, for the most part it seems that the general consensus is that CHS "invented" it. I don't know if that's true, but everywhere I look, I see CHS, CHS, CHS. I saw the part about the summer camp, but it was mentioned briefly. CHS was the first to write the first set of rules as well (although these seemed to be a satire).

Well, they helped to popularize it. Which in some sense, is *kind of* inventing it.
