The Free Press All-Championship Team for the 2026 Vermont Ultimate playoffs
For the fifth straight year the Burlington Free Press sports department combed through our playoff results to compile an All-Championship team for the spring high school playoffs.
With a tilt toward players that won titles this spring we created an all-star like group of softball, baseball, lacrosse, Ultimate and tennis athletes that any team would welcome in the game’s biggest moments.
Below, you’ll find our All-Championship Team for boys and girls Ultimate.
Editor’s note:
All-championship teams for baseball and softball (Wednesday), boys and girls lacrosse (Thursday) and boys and girls tennis (Friday) will be published online later this week.
On Monday, June 22, readers will be able to vote on the boys and girls MVP of the 2026 spring playoffs. The ballots include all names listed below.
