College Championships Feature Team USA Athletes

Colorado Springs, Colo. (May 13, 2026) – In addition to featuring the best competition of the 2026 college ultimate season, the upcoming USA Ultimate D-I College Championships also offers spectators the opportunity to watch members of this summer’s Under-20 National Teams in action. 

The upcoming World Junior Ultimate Championships (WJUC) will take place July 11–18 in Logroño, Spain and USA Ultimate is sending teams in all three divisions — open, mixed and women’s. Nineteen of the 72 athletes who will represent the United States across all three teams will be competing next weekend in Rockford. 

For those looking to see these players on the field, Carleton CUT features the most U-20 athletes at the event — with two open and one mixed team player on their roster — while Carleton Syzygy, Georgia Tech Tribe and Oregon Ego each have two Team USA members rostered. 

Team USA has competed in 16 editions of WJUC — a biennial event — dating back to 1988. The open team has medaled at each event, earning ten gold medals, two silvers and four bronze. Since the women’s division was introduced in 2000, the U.S. National Team has captured six gold medals, four silvers and a bronze. The mixed division was added to the event in 2022 and USA Ultimate first sent a team to in 2024, where they took home the gold.

Spectators wishing to watch these athletes vie for a national title, then compete on the world stage this summer, can find a full list of the U-20 National Team players competing at the Championships — and which schools they play for — below. Team USA’s open division Assistant Coach Stanley Birdsong will also be in attendance, as a coach for Carleton CUT.
