Penn Kid Goes Pro

Himalaya_Frisbee-1

Meet Himalaya Mehta, a Penn junior who was recently recruited to play professional ultimate frisbee for the Philadelphia Spinners. Yes, his teammate Surya informs us, professional ultimate frisbee is a real thing.

Himalaya is still a member of Penn's team, Void Ultimate, and when he isn't juggling his time between practices, he is hitting the gym daily for intense weight training and running sessions. Did we mention that he is also majoring in Math and Economics? Let's just say he's the "ultimate" package.

But wait, there's more. Not only is he going to be paid to travel across the country to play with the Spinners this summer, but he is also featured in a new ultimate frisbee IPhone App. He's famous!

Himalaya, you're number 1 in our hearts.
