Austin Sol

Austin Sol, the professional ultimate frisbee team Patrick Christmas (CompSci) founded in Texas in 2015, is now in its fourth season. Sol has a 35-player roster and is a member of the American Ultimate Disc League. Since 2001, Patrick has worked as a chief software engineer at National Instruments. He and the Sol appeared in the Coloradan’s March 2016 cover story, “Ultimate Goes Pro.” This year Patrick took a spring break trip with his family to Big Bend and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks, “a great trip that always seemed too far away when I lived in Colorado,” he wrote.
