NAME: Kaitlyn McLellan #45 (Graduated)
MAJOR: Biology
POWER ANIMAL: Otter
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: My favorite thing about DECEPTION is easily all the girls that make it up. I love dancing on the field with everyone, screaming at the other team, and watching girls play defense with their throats. When the other team is mad, I know we're playing a good game.
BIO: My name is Kaitlyn. I play ultimate for the bagels and when I'm not satisfied with them, I give people a stern talking to. I love to heckle people on the side lines, and enjoy being competitive. Don't bother looking for a good picture of me playing ultimate, because they don't exist.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: Oh my lands, well I sure do 'ppreciate the hospitality of all these city-folk that have taught me this fine sport. Everyone's been real nice to me since I left Ma and Pa back on the ol' frontier, I feel like I fit right in.
BIO: I'm a small town girl just tryna make it in the world of grad school in Albanstown, USA. But don't take me lightly: they call me Old Rough and Ready where I'm from; President Zachary Taylor, praise his soul, stole my namesake.

POWER ANIMAL: Rafiki (from the lion king)
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: My favorite thing about Deception is definitely how flat the balls are. My second favorite thing is the whole teams incredible dance moves on and off the field. I used to do the hokey pokey, but then I turned myself around. I owe it all to Deception.
BIO: I'm a cutter for Deception Women's Flatball at S.U.N.Y. Albany. When I'm not moving like Bernie in the end zone, I'm probably being a biology nerd, doing some real weird yoga stuff (in the best way possible), talking in doge, or sleeping. My spirit animal is Rafiki from the Lion King because he's wise, weird, and climbs things just like me.

MAJOR: Communications
POWER ANIMAL: Platypus
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: I never appreciated women's ultimate until I played
on DECEPTION. I wanted to share my love of the sport with them, and in return they have challenged me to improve and showed me how much fun a team of ladies who love playing this phenomenal sport together can be.
BIO: Ultimate is my favorite way to spend a weekend. If I had three wishes it would be autumn all year round, peach shortcake would always be on the dessert menu, and campfires with company would be the relaxing end to any given long day.
