As is tradition in the sport of ultimate, Josie Gillett ’19 got a nickname when she joined Cold Front, the Bates women’s club team.<\/p>\n

And it was a prophetic one: Future. Led by Gillett, the squad’s first-year phenom from Seattle, Cold Front qualified for the national tournament for the first time in 2016.<\/p>\n

Three years later, the future is here for Gillett and the team: They head into the national tourney, which takes place Saturday and Sunday in College Station, Texas, undefeated and seeded first.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Gillett’s arrival immediately raised the team’s sights and bolstered its talent (she was already a member of Team USA’s Under-19 squad), Cold Front’s progress since then has been a collective effort, says Gillett.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, I think I had the biggest impact my first year. Since then other people have been able to help grow the program and teach new players.”<\/p>\n
