Quality 0.70 · 0 views · Updated 1 month ago

Henry Callahan (1957–1982) was a player and ambassador of Ultimate and helped bring the sport to the University of Oregon, formally establishing a team in 1978. In 1982, he was murdered during a robbery while working in Boulder, Colorado. His killer, Robert Wieghard, was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Under more lenient laws at the time, he became eligible for parole after serving 20 years. However, Wieghard has been continuously denied parole. Both the Callahan Award, given each year to the best male and female college Ultimate players and the Callahan Rules of Ultimate are named after him. The idea and the award were founded by Charles Kerr, a long-time coach.
