Introducing...Jill Oesterrieich Kiener #18


Hometown: Plymouth, MN

Attended: Macalester College

Height: 5' 6"

Position: Cutter

Autobiography: My father raised me to be a soccer player and my mother raised me to be a ballerina. I disappointed them both when I quit everything to play ultimate with the Macalester Purse Snatchers my sophomore year in college.. It took me my first five years of playing to learn that winning the party is not just as good as winning the tournament, but I think I am finally at a point in my frisbee career that my dad could be proud of my athletic endeavors again. Unfortunately my my mom is too distraught by the nasty scars I've acquired from raspberries to appreciate that I still point my toes when I jump. I've played club with Hot Action, Bait, Small Rackages and now Pop. However, the highlight of my frisbee career was co-captaining the all redheaded team SPF 50 at MUDI in 2008. Gingers forever.
