Name: Diana Larson
Nickname(s): Di, Chief, and Brad seems to think "Cougar" is amusing?
Occupation: Early retirement
Hometown: Northbrook, IL - Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller were both filmed at my high school.
Year of birth: Long enough ago to have seen the above movies in the theater...
First year playing rugby: 1994 (When we have players born this year, then maybe I'll retire.)
Position(s): Boy, is this question asking for trouble... Flyhalf, wing, reluctant fullback, and lock, if everyone else who actually knows how to do it is dead or near death
Other club(s): University of Iowa, Black Wolves, Boulder Ice
What do you love about rugby? It's by far the best team sport for adult women athletes out there. I love the competition, the camaraderie, and the fact that there's literally a place on the team for just about anyone, regardless of athletic background, size, shape, etc. Yay, rugby.
Most memorable rugby moment? Most recent? Scoring the game-winner with no time left at CU in the Halloween Hangover game. Ever? Tie between "Ice, Ice Rugby" under the posts at Territorials, and winning the 7's championship in overtime in 2007. Bacon!
Famous expression(s)? This is OUR time! (Who knew the Goonies had beaten me to it?)
If you could have any super power, what would it be? Tackling ability.
