28 Scozzies qualified, 9 quarter finalists, 8 semi finalists, 4 finalists - a million smiles!
Congratulations to everyone who competed. The standard of junior squash has never been higher! It was no small achievement for players to make the draw and all our entrants should be proud of their seasons.
Easy to overlook would be Scozzies two Most Improved Player Awards, with Caroline and Nikhil carrying on what is now a Scozzie tradition. Our program has a deserved reputation for fast tracking talented youngsters at Gold, Silver and Bronze levels and the MIP's should be exceptionally proud of their hard work.
Finally some heart felt thanks from me personally.
Firstly, thank you to all the Scozzies who had their training disrupted for three days without complaint and for their support of their training buddies in action. I believe hosting the event was the right thing to do to assist the US Squash Community and one weekend of disruption, although not ideal, was a good call.
Secondly I'd like to recognize the contribution of the coaches and staff at the club who worked tirelessly before, during and after the event to make things run as smoothly as possible and to make sure all our players had the positive and successful experience they deserved. Thank you to all the staff and congratulations to the coaches who once again proved that they are the finest crew of squash coaches ever assembled in the US.
Bigger things ahead! - Paul
