2015 Pro Kennex IRT Tournament of Champions - Preview

The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) has its penultimate event of the 2014-15 season this weekend with the 2015 Pro Kennex Tournament of Champions. Rocky Carson is still the #1 IRT player but Kane Waselenchuk is on a mission to overtake Carson and claim the #1 position at season’s end for the 7th consecutive season and 10th time in his career.

The 2014-15 IRT season will end in Fresno, California, where the IRT Summer Kickoff will be held May 28-31.

There are some good young players in Portland this weekend, including Coby Iwaasa - the Canadian U18 Champion, Adam Manilla - the USA Racquetball Intercollegiate Champion, and Andree Parrilla - runner up at last weekend’s World Racquetball Tour (WRT) event, as well as US Junior Team members Connor Laffey and Wayne Antone IV.

Also, Tony Carson make a return to the IRT. We expect him to make it through qualifying and into the Round of 16, where he would play Oregon favourite Charlie Pratt.

The IRT Network will broadcast the event throughout the weekend. The Round of 16 starts at 11 AM PDT Friday. Note that the semi-finals will be Saturday at 11 AM and noon with the final Saturday night at 7:00 PM PDT.
