Eric Duckworth, the Ultimate Frisbee player who is participating in the 2015 O&A Fitness Challenge, injured his heel and had played only one game at press time. The injury set back the 41-year-old’s conditioning, but he hopes to be fully healed for the Ultimate summer season. Meantime, his team is in first place and headed for the finals of the spring season in the Delaware Men’s Ultimate Frisbee League.

By the way, his team is The Revenge of You Don’t Win Friends with Salad. “Don’t ask,” says Duckworth, “because I don’t have an explanation.”

We’ll have more on the Graylyn Crest resident and his uniquely named team next month.
