National Team Championships

On the weekend of May 20-22, 2011, I went with one of my Midtown club teams and a team from Harro East, to the inaugural US Squash National League Finals, held at Harvard University in Boston, MA.

We all had a great weekend, I gashed my shin and we broke a glass wall (we like to leave our mark) !

After some crutial match coaching from yours truely, the teams finished :-
Harro East - 3rd in the 3.5 division
Midtown 1 - 3rd in the 3.0 division
