Weekend Round Up - Wins by Beltran, Allen, Jackson & Gutierrez

There were two International Racquetball Tour (IRT) minor events on the weekend. Alvaro Beltran won the Tier 3 16th Annual Lou Bradley Memorial Pro-Am in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin and Jansen Allen won the Christmas Classic in Boise, Idaho.

Daniel De La Rosa could be excused for having had enough of Beltran, as he was the loser against Beltran for a 4th time in a little over a month. But it took a tie-breaker this time, as Beltran won 9-11, 11-3, 11-5, 8-11, 11-6.

Beltran defeated Tony Carson in one semi-final with De La Rosa beating Chris Crowther in the other.

Allen defeated Charlie Pratt in the Boise final. In the semis, Allen defeated Thomas Fuhrmann and Pratt beat Andrew Gale.

At the 22nd Christmas Classic in Arlington, Virginia, Sharon Jackson won the Women's Open division by defeating Mariana Tobon Gordon, 15-6, 15-10, in the final. Jackson defeated Da'monique Davis, 15-13, 15-12, in one semi-final with Gordon beating Maria Renee Rodriguez, 15-2, 15-10, in the other.

Finally, the Fremont Open was a World Racquetball Tour (WRT) event in Fremont, California, and Polo Gutierrez came out on top, as he defeated Alejandro Cardona, 15-4, 15-3, in the final. Gutierrez beat Gilberto Meija, 5-15, 15-11, 11-2, and Cardona beat Anthony Herrera, 15-8, 15-14, in the semi-finals.

Jaime Martell and Joshua Hungerford won the WRT Men's Doubles by defeating Fernando Rios and Jose Daniel Alvarez, 14-15, 15-7, 11-8, in the final.
