The 2007-2008 Season

We had a great season with growing attendance and new schools. San Joaquin Delta College - near the heart of California racquetball - brought the incredibly strong players Ismael Aldana, David Horn, and the Sue Sublaban. Ismael won the UC Davis tourney, David won the San Jose State tourney, and Sue competed very well in Men's II with her matches always drawing a big crowd. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo fielded a team for the Berkeley tourney, and we look forward to more involvement from CalPoly. Northern California has also seen the new players John Holst (Las Positas) and Anderson Ha (CSU East Bay).

The WCRC is continuing to grow in Southern California. Jon Varona (CSU Fullerton) together with Jeffrey Weiss - who started a new club this year at Pitzer College - ran our second WCRC Southern California tournament! Over the past year in our two WCRC Southern California tourneys, we have had participants from the following schools:

  • Claremont University Consortium
  • CSU Fullerton
  • CSU Long Beach
  • Goldenwest
  • Riverside CC
  • San Bernardino
  • San Diego Mesa
  • San Diego State University
  • UC Irvine
  • UCLA
  • USC

The excitement and dedication in our collegiate racquetball players is evident in their travel half way across the state to compete. Alfredo Lopez, Mac Williamson, Arvind Wander and myself (John Bardos) traveled to Southern California to play in and run the first WCRC Southern California tourney at Fullerton, with significant help from Jon Varona.

Traveling to Northern California were Dylan Carr - who came all the way from San Diego and also competed in last year's USRA Collegiate Nationals, Abhi Tiyagi & Jessica Torres (UCI), Jon Varona & Andre Mora (CSUF), Kyle Merritt & Chris Wilcox & Ben Lobue (CalPoly), and Eli Smukler (UCLA).
