World Junior Racquetball Championships - Team Results

The International Racquetball Federation (IRF) has announced the team competition results from the 21st World Junior Racquetball Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic that ended on Sunday. As The Racquetball Blog anticipated, the United States won the overall title based on clear wins in both boys and girls competitions.

Mexico finished second overall, although they were third in girls behind Bolivia, who came third overall based on that second place girls finish and a third place boys finish.

Canada was fourth overall, but in fifth behind Costa Rica in the boys competition. Costa Rica didn't get any points from the girls side, although they did have three girls in Santo Domingo. Thus, Costa Rica was fourth in boys and sixth overall behind Canada and Ecuador in fourth and fifth, respectively.

Ireland had its strongest ever World Juniors results, and finished seventh overall from a sixth place finish in girls and tenth in boys. The Irish team was the only one from outside the Americas.
