Women's roller derby league in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Wasatch Roller Derby (WRD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Salt Lake City, Utah . Founded in 2008, Wasatch is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
History and organization [ edit ]
Originally emerging from the Salt City Derby Girls ,[2] the league's formation was led by Lacey "Honey" Peterson and Brandi "Medusa" Olsen.[3] The first public Wasatch bout was held April 25, 2009 at Hollywood Connection in West Valley City .[4]
Wasatch joined the WFTDA Apprentice Program in October 2009,[5] and were accepted as full WFTDA members in June 2010.[6] By January 2012, they were described as the biggest league in Salt Lake City.[7] In 2013 the WFTDA transitioned from a region based ranking system to an overall ranking system. WRD entered the new ranking at 20th in March 2013.[8]
The league founded the Wasatch Junior Rollers, a junior roller derby team, and have close links with the co-ed MRDA league, Wasatch Men's Roller Derby.[9] As of 2019, Wasatch Roller Derby features two home teams and one travel team.[9]
Wasatch Roller Derby regularly raises funds for charitable organizations including the March of Dimes and the American Diabetes Association .[10]
WFTDA competition [ edit ]
Wasatch first qualified for WFTDA Playoffs in 2012, as the ninth seed at the WFTDA Western Regional Tournament , where they finished in ninth place by defeating Arizona Roller Derby 245-134.[11]
In 2013, the WFTDA restructured its playoff system, and Wasatch qualified for Division 1 Playoffs in Fort Wayne, Indiana as the seventh seed, and finished in seventh place by beating Cincinnati Rollergirls 275-95.[12]
In 2014, Wasatch hosted a Division 1 Playoff at the Salt Palace .[13] WRD competed at the tournament as the eighth seed and finished in eighth place after losing to No Coast Derby Girls 169-166.[14] No Coast had been the intended host league but their venue plans fell through.[15]
In 2015, Wasatch dropped down to Division 2 Playoffs as the fifth seed at Detroit , and finished in fifth place by defeating Bear City 203-152.[16]
In 2016, Wasatch was the third seed for the Lansing Division 2 Playoff, and just missed the bronze medal with a 197-194 loss to Charm City Rollergirls .[17]
Wasatch returned to Division 1 Playoffs in 2017 as the twelfth seed in Dallas , but lost both of their games, 415-68 to Atlanta Rollergirls [18] and 270-77 to Queen City Roller Girls .[19]
