The BYU Racquetball team had the opportunity to travel to Ohio State University to be a part of the 2023 Collegiate National Racquetball Championship from March 16th-18th, and what a tournament it was! People laughed, people cried, voices were lost, and bodies were sore. It encompassed everything you would want during a National Racquetball tournament.
At the conclusion of the tournament, BYU walked away with three trophies. The team won 2nd place overall, 1st place in Women's, and 2nd place in Men's. It was a very successful tournament. The had worked hard to get there, and the results proved just that! Each of BYU's top 6 players for the men's and women's teams achieved All-American Status. This meant that each player placed 4th or higher in their respective divisions. What a privilege it was for the team to be able to play the sport they love, against very talented individuals. Thank you to everyone who helped them accomplish their goals along the way!
