Ultimate Frisbee club honors late friend and teammate ______________________ BY KATE SHELDON for the Cal Times ____________________________ On Fri., April 11, California University of Pennsylvania’s Ultimate Frisbee team was away at Saint Vincent College for a game that was held in memorial of Garrick Lackey, a student who passed away in a car accident last semester. Lackey was involved in numerous organizations on campus, including Student Government, Student Activities Board and the Ultimate Frisbee club. Andy McLynch and Joe Terrana were two of Lackey’s teammates and friends that helped set up this game to contribute to his scholarship fund. Terrana, a junior and business major, said that Saint Vincent’s Ultimate Frisbee team
approached him about hosting this game. “Saint Vincent came to me and asked if we wanted to do this with them and they told me about the donation jar they were having for Garrick’s scholarship,� Terrana said. “I talked to our club about it and we were all really interested in the idea. We set it up and everything, and then they told us about how they were going to donate all of the proceeds to his scholarship.� Cal U’s team also wore jerseys in honor of Garrick with his number on the right sleeve. Terrana said that Saint Vincent approaching them first about the game showed how much of an impact Garrick had on the whole Ultimate Frisbee community. McLynch, a junior and political science major, said he was extremely happy with the amount of people at the game.
“Usually we have trouble even getting people from our club to show up to things,� McLynch said. “The fact that we were able to get triple the amount of people at that game was huge for us, and even Saint Vincent’s crowd was big and the support from everyone was great.� McLynch also said that the game would have meant more to Garrick than anyone because he was always the one to support other teams and was a big advocate for showing sportsmanship, which was apparent at this game. Lindsey Leonard, a junior and communications major who attended the game, was a very close friend of Garrick’s. “I’m speechless about the game, honestly,� Leonard said. “It was a rainy day and the sun came out right before they announced Garrick’s name and
number and both teams took the Ă€HOG 7KHUH ZDV VXFK D SUHVHQFH of Garrick there.â€? Leonard said Garrick was always good at bringing people together and still manages to do so. “It was amazing to see another school put together an event to honor him and raise money toward his scholarship,â€? Leonard said. “Cal U and SVC worked together and at the end of the day that’s what Garrick was all about.â€? All together from the game, Cal U and Saint Vincent raised $139.81 to put toward the Garrick A. Lackey Memorial Scholarship, which is more than halfway endowed. “When Cal U cheered, ‘1, 2, 3, We did it for Garrick!’ after the JDPH WHDUV Ă€OOHG P\ H\HV EXW , couldn’t stop smiling,â€? Leonard said. “This is just the beginning of Garrick’s legacy.â€?
