Paul Burningham of the Eugene Family YMCA defeated Ross Dusenbury of Arlington, Texas 15-13, 15-10 to capture the Men’s 24 & Under C Division at the 2006 USA Racquetball National Singles Championships.

Paul began playing on the ORA Tour last season and captured the 2005-2006 Season Championship in the Men's C Division. His championship earned a mention in the Eugene Register-Guard. 

Three other Oregonians traveled to Houston to compete - Brandon Martin, Connie Martin and Kaylee Pfennig. Connie decided to play in the Nationals after a 20 year hiatus and won the Gold in the Women's 50+ Blue Division.
