Houstonian Evan Winograd Heading to World Championship

Houstonist interviewed St. John's High School Senior, Evan Winograd a few weeks ago just before he traveled to Seattle to try out for the US Junior National Team. Evan joined other youths from around the US vying for a chance to compete in the 2008 World Ultimate Championship being held in Vancouver in August. Well, the results are in. Evan's heading to the big show.

"This is a great accomplishment, especially given the well established juniors programs in Seattle, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Boulder and elsewhere," said Winograd's mentor, Sean McCall, after getting the news. "Being selected to compete at World Championships is one of the highest honors in the game - equivalent to being selected to the junior Olympic team."

Good luck defending the title, Evan. Bring home the gold.
