- Of the 900 junior squash-players from (all over the world) making the
draws at the 2018 U.S. Junior Squash Open, (being played at Phillips
Andover Academy, (18 courts) Harvard University, (14 courts) and the
Brooks School, (10 courts) only 30 players are from California...in
fact, only a total of 33 players from the entire West Coast! The
Californian's include: BU11/3; BU13/6; BU15/3; BU17/2; BU19/2; GU11/4;
GU13/6; GU15/0; GU17/0; GU19/4. And...only one boy from Southern
California...Elian Vera of San Diego, who's seeded #26 out of the 98
players in his draw. What is it...accessibility to squash-courts, the
junior squash talent pool, junior programs or junior coaching!? Perhaps
all four!
