USA Racquetball

It was a great day of racquetball at the Forest View Racquet Club in Arlington Heights, IL on Saturday December 6th as 38 women competed in the 11th Pro Kennex Women's One Day Shootout. Play began at 9:00am and ended at 8:00pm. There were a lot of tough matches and sore bodies by days end. The event used a round robin format and provided well over 100 matches on the day.
Congratulations to the winners of each division who enjoyed gift certificates to Victoria’s Secret.

Open – Ellen Somberg
A – Cari Mory
B – Delores Lamberson
C – Karen Blair

Special thanks go to Jim Thurber at the Forest View Racquet Club for helping out and allowing use of the club for the day. Jim is doing a fantastic job promoting the sport and building a program at Forest View. Also, a special thanks to Scott Fauque, Martha Huske and Julie Vincent for helping run the event. It was Scott’s first time helping with an event and he learned a lot, not only about running a tournament but how to keep 40 women happy at one time and did a great job at it.

Thank you to Mike Martinez at Pro Kennex for supplying the giveaways and supporting the event. Mike does a lot for racquetball and is a friend of the sport.
I appreciate all those that brought the extra food and giveaways for the tournament, thank you.

Have a great Holiday and Healthy New Year!!
