2009-2010 Collegiate Challenge Cup Final Standings:
We have just concluded the inaugural season of the
Florida Racquetball Collegiate Challenge Cup Series and it was a great success.
We had 7 different schools participating at 4 unique events at 4 different
on-campus venues. Each event had between 20 and 40 collegiate participants which
indicates that there is definite grass roots interest on college campuses in
Florida for playing and competing in racquetball events.Kudos go out to Alain
Pujolar at UM, Brad Knudsen at UF, Chris Young at USF and Zach Heng and Dan
Lerow at FSU for both their participation and ongoing support in making these
events successful. Another thank you to Sal Perconti and Wilson Racquetball for
supplying balls for the most recent FSU event.
What about the results? Congratulations go out to
the University of Florida and Team Captain Brad Knudsen for
winning the Florida Collegiate Chalenge Cup for the 2009-2010 season. In a much
closer season points battle than expected due to the great turnout by FSU at the
recent event there, the final standings are:
- UF - 168 points
- FSU- 137 points
- UM- 64 points
- USF- 31 points
- Palm Beach Atlantic- 4 points
- Polk State - 4 points
- North Florida - 2 points
A number of these players are heading out to
Missouri in a few weeks to represent their schools at the Intercollegiate
Championships. Please wish them great success.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make the
2009-2010 season such a great first season and we are looking forward to making
next year even better.

Lerow, Florida College Racquetball Liasison

2009 FRA Board of
Directors election results:
The board of directors has decided to keep the 2009 board count at 12 people which created three board position openings. A call for candidates was sent out in a mass email on December 6, 2008 and posted on the FRA web. During the call for candidates which was announced on December 6, 2008 and ended on January 5, 2009 the two expiring members, Randy Forrest and Renee Fish expressed their interest in another term, and Bob Lerow submitted a candidate request. The next step would normally be a formal ballot process by all FRA members, but since there were three openings and three candidates the openings will automatically be filled by these candidates. These new position terms take effect at the 2009 state singles. Please direct any questions to Andy Pawlowski (mobile 386-679-8368)
