Wellington’s Hansen Wins Racquetball Titles

Josh Shea of Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., and Timmy Hansen of Wellington swept all five matches of round robin play to win USA Racquetball’s under-10 doubles national title at the 2014 Wilson Junior Olympic Championships at the Highlands Ranch Recreation Center in Colorado. The duo clinched the victory with a 15-9, 15-1 victory this week.

Shea and Hansen defeated the national runner-up team of Nikhil Prasad and Vedant Chauhan, both of California.

Hansen won the doubles championship on the same court he had just finished as the national runner-up in the under-10 singles division. He also finished third in the under-14 doubles division with Jonathan Maupin of Fort Lauderdale.

USA Racquetball, founded in 1969, is recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee as the national governing body for the sport. The organization annually conducts six national championships and sanctions hundreds of tournaments for players of all ages and skill levels.
