The BYU Racquetball team traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina to the beautiful campus of NC State to be a part of the 2025 Collegiate National Racquetball Championship from March 26th-29th, and what a tournament it was! The women were just a few points shy of a three-peat as national champions and took 2nd behind Oregon State University. The men took 4th overall but boasted several individual national champion performances, and the combined team took 2nd in the nation behind Oregon State University.
At the conclusion of the tournament, BYU walked away with many trophies and medals. Each of BYU's top 6 players for the men's and women's teams achieved All-American Status except for 1. This meant that these players 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!
