Franchise history

[edit]

2022 season

[edit]

The Summit played their first season in 2022, when the UFA was known as the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL).[1] The Summit, along with fellow new teams Portland Nitro and Salt Lake Shred, joined the AUDL's West Division alongside the Los Angeles Aviators, the San Diego Growlers, and the Seattle Cascades.

The Summit finished the 2022 regular season with an 11–1 record[2] and reached the AUDL semifinals but lost 19–14 to the Chicago Union. Multiple Summit players earned end-of-season honors—Jonathan Nethercutt was named to First Team All-AUDL, Quinn Finer and Cody Spicer were named to both Second Team All-AUDL and All-AUDL Rookie First Team, and Mathieu Agee, Alex Atkins, and Alex Tatum were all named to All-AUDL Rookie Second Team. Spicer also earned All-AUDL Defense Team honors.[3]

2023 season

[edit]

The Summit went 8–4 in 2023 and made the playoffs for the second year in a row, but lost in the second round to the Aviators. Finer was named to the Second Team All-AUDL and Cody Spicer was named to the All-AUDL Defense Team.[4]

2024 season

[edit]

Before the 2024 season, the AUDL rebranded and reorganized into the Ultimate Frisbee Association.
