Zoomie Rugby Football Club
The Zoomie Rugby Football Club (ZRFC) is made up of the men's and women's rugby union teams at the United States Air Force Academy. ''Zoomie'' is slang for a cadet or graduate of the United States Air Force Academy.
==History==
The Air Force rugby program began in 1968 and, as the academy was all-male, consisted only of a men's team. In 1980, the Air Force began competing in collegiate rugby under USA rugby, as the NCAA does not sponsor rugby as a sport. Fit and fast described play in those early years, prompting the Eastern Rockies Rugby Union President, Terry Fleener,〔http://www.usrugbyfoundation.org/site/pp.asp?c=9fLHJVOxHmE&b=8977379〕 to coin the nickname "Zoomies"... which stuck and continues on to this day. Since that time, the Air Force men's rugby team has made 13 appearances in the national tournament, earning three national championships—in 1989, 1990 and 2003. Several players have gone on to represent the USA on the US Men's National Team, including Ben Trautwein, Matt Schmitz, Josh Dean, Mike Hobson, Brian Lemay, and Eric Duechle.
The Air Force women's team was founded in 1977, shortly after the first admission of women to the academy. The women's team competed within Colorado for several years, but moved to national competition when the women's national championship competition was organized in 1991. The women's team won the first national championship that same year, and have gone on to win three more, in 1994, 2002 and 2003. Two of the Air Force women's players, Shalanda Baker and Laura McDonald, have gone on to play for the United States Women's National Team.
