Spring 2012, UC Santa Cruz

UC Santa Cruz finally benefited from home court advantage to win their first tournmaent at home!  UCSC's success is due in good part to a strong turnout from their Women's team. The UCSC Men mostly dominated Men's I, winning 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and 6th places. John Sanderson (Stanford) has dominated Men's I winning this tourney, and the previous tourney at UC Davis (and, most every WCRC he's played)!  I think we're getting closer, though, to catching up to him. Christian Schwantes (Stanf) won Men's II, and Noah Johnson (Cal) won Men's III ... They will each be starting next season up one division next season - be ready!   Jessica Nevins (Cal) continues to finish at the top of Women's I. Marzia Miletto (Cal) is racing upwards after winning Women's II, as did Lindsey Raven (UCD) after winning Women's II at the previous tourney at UC Davis. Stanford, San Jose State, and Sacramento State all had stronger showings this year. Stanford and Sac are enjoying new racquetball courts at their schools. ... When was the last time you heard the phrase "new racquetball courts"?! Sac and San Jose teams are growing bigger, starting last season and finishing this season with 7 and 8 men on their teams, respectively - among the largest Men's teams! UC Berkeley is the big winner this season, winning the Fall and Winter tourneys, and winning the 2011-2012 Season.
