Cristina Amaya was named the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour's (LPRT's) most improved player this past weekend at the 22nd Annual Christmas Classic in Arlington, Virginia, and to back that up, she is now the 3rd ranked LPRT player, which is a career high for Amaya.
Previously, she was 4th, but a semi-final finish in Arlington bumped her up.
Paola Longoria and Rhonda Rajsich remain the #1 and #2 LPRT players, and they are well ahead of the rest of the field. Longoria, who hasn't lost a LPRT match in two and half years, is over 1000 points ahead of Amaya and Rajsich is 469 ahead of Amaya.
Amaya and the next three players - Susana Acosta #4, Samantha Salas #5, and Maria Jose Vargas #6 - are all ranked in the 500s, so they are relatively close together.
There a drop in points to the next four players, who are within 35 points of each other. They are Adrienne Haynes in 7th, Veronica Sotomayor 8th, Cheryl Gudinas 9th, and Da'monique Davis 10th.
Jennifer Saunders has bounced back up to sit in 11th ahead of Grace Hughes in 12th and fellow Canadian Frédérique Lambert in 13th. Maria Paz Muñoz is 14th with T. J. Baumbaugh up to 15th.
Rounding out the top 20 are Hailey Miller (16), Kerri Wachtel (17), Carla Muñoz (18), Linda Scales (19), and Sofia Rascon (20).
The LPRT is back in action this weekend with the Paola Longoria Invitational in Monterrey, Mexico beginning Friday December 13-15, 2013.
