Griffith Park YMCA Tourney a Big Success!

The 2006 OJRA Tournament at the Griffith Park YMCA was completed this year in cooperation with Mother Nature (last year's GPYMCA tourney was cancelled when a ice storm hit the Portland area after the first day of the event).

This year 84 kids participated, including 21 new high school players getting their first OJRA Tour Stop experience. Lots of tired legs and arms by the end of the day Sunday. Also lots of highlights to the tournament, including tremendous play by Cruz Rivera, Elizabeth Brenner (Age 12) winning Girls 16/18, and Billy Wainwright's dramatic victory over Taylor Knoth in Elite Skill division. Taylor made amends, however, by winning Boys 18.

It was also a big weekend for siblings, as Amanda & John Lindsay finished 1-2 in Intermediate Skill, Taylor & Casey Finney finished 1st in Intermediate Doubles, Kyle & Josh Lebow finished 1-2 in Intermediate Skill Blue, Alicia & Victoria Fladstol finished 1-2 in Girls 10 and Ryan & Rick Charbonneau finished 3-4 in Boys 12 not far behind the top US players in their age group (Sam Reid and John Lindsay).

Thanks to Dave Azuma and the Griffith Park YMCA staff for the use of their facility!!
