Moscoso defends & Mejia wins 1st at 2023 Pan American Racquetball Championships

Conrrado Moscoso of Bolivia successfully defended the Men’s Singles title he won a year ago by defeating team-mate Carlos Keller, 11-8, 11-9, 11-9, in the final at the 2023 Pan American Racquetball Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala on Saturday. The win is Moscoso’s fourth Pan Am title overall, as he won Men’s Doubles in 2019 and Mixed Doubles this year.

Montserrat Mejia won the Women’s Singles Pan Am Championship for the first time by defeating former Pan American Champion María José Vargas of Argentina, 11-8, 11-6, 11-9. The win continues the great run of form that Mejia has been on, as she’s won the last four events on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour. Mejia is the second Mexican to win Women’s Singles after Paola Longoria.
