Please like and follow this page so that when I tag you, you see it.  Facebook will only retain tags of people that like\/follow a page, which means lots of you are not getting the notoriety of getting tagged and noticed on FB.  If your name is here and it isn&#8217;t tagged \u2026 it probably means I attempted to tag you but FB stripped it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexican Nationals is next weekend, in Monterrey.  This is always one of my favorite events to cover, since the draws are so full of talent.  The weekend after that is the LPRT Team Root supermax in Kansas City, a grand slam that should draw all the top women from around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>tags<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International Racquetball Tour\u200b<br>\nLPRT\u200b<br>\n3WallBall Outdoor World Championships\u200b<br>\nMid-Atlantic World Outdoor Racquetball\u200b<br>\nUSA Racquetball\u200b<br>\nFederaci\u00f3n Boliviana de Racquetball\u200b <br>\nReaching Your Dream Foundation\u200b<br>\nFormulaflow\u200b<br>\nSplathead Sportsgear\u200b<br>\nonewallball.com\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashtags #racquetball #proracquetball #outdoorracquetball #irt #lprt #wor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congrats to everyone who played in DC this past weekend!
