With the conclusion of the USAU College Regular Season, the spotlight is on college ultimate’s finest players to see who will emerge as the 2013 Callahan Award Recipient. Skyd has already announced four of our “Skyd 5” nominees for both Open and Women’s–with our fifth “Wildcard” nomination coming on April 21st–but the battle for ultimate’s most prestigious award remains hotly contested.
Though Callahan voting does not begin until May 7th, we here at Skyd decided to give voters a head start in their decision-making by creating a comprehensive catalog of all candidate videos released so far. Videos follow in alphabetical order.
Update: Callahan ballots are now open! Vote for your favorite open candidate and women’s candidate right here on Skyd.
We will continue to add to this list as more videos come out. To submit a video to be included, email the author at patrick@skydmagazine.com. Last update: 5/24.
