Four weeks ago, 7 juniors from Atlanta traveled up to DC to participate in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Junior Championships. I competed in the GU15 draw, with my friends Keela Boyce and Ami Niksich competing in the GU13 draw, Alex Rankin in BU17, Tommy Rankin in BU19, and Ashwin Mudaliar and Devin Neveu in BU13. We had some great results, with all of us placing within the top 8. Aside from playing plenty of squash, we also explored DC and had a lot of fun.

Thank you for being a part of a very special weekend. We saw the continual rise of the juniors as they march through the various skill levels, the outstanding play of home touring pro Reuben Phillips, and many kind touchpoint moments between players, families, friends.
The 2017 DragonDoc, compliments of Dr. Gary Myerson and Dr. Pradeep Sinha, proved to be one of our best “major” events ever.
The play was deep and competitive, and in all cases, sportsmanly.
In the 2016-2017 season, the Westminster Boys experienced the best squash season in the programs history.
The boys’ first trip of the season to Mercersburg Academy ended up with a 9-0 win over MICDS, 7-2 over Canisius, 8-1 over Mercersburg, and a trophy in Coach Byrd’s hand. Personally, playing #1, this tournament posed a challenge, losing 2/3 of our team’s losses.
After handily winning the Mercersburg team tournament, the boys were poised for Nationals some two weeks later. As repetitive as they were, we knew the daily practices of boast and drive, rotating … Continue Reading ››

The 15th Piedmont Driving Club Singles and Doubles Squash Invitational Tournament was held on March 16 and 17th, 2017. The tournament was well organized and ran very smoothly, thanks to the efforts of the PDC staff and their Head Squash Pro, Ahmed Hamza.
