Youth Report - Donna Ferguson
Wow, where has the time gone! It's almost the start of the
new season and I haven't given the results of the 2007 Youth
Nationals....til now. My apologies to the youth for my
extreme slowness in reporting.
As you know, Ashley Patrick, Katelin Smith, Courtney Conroy,
Krisy Kohinsky, Justin Shannon, Daniel Pawloski, Michael
Main and Alex Kohinsky traveled to Quebec for the youth
nationals.
In the singles, Ashley, Courtney and Micheal placed joint
5th in their respective categories.
Courtney and Michael (sr. mixed dbles) defeated QC and then
lost to AB in the next round, who were the "best of the
day".
The senior girls and senior boys just missed advancing to
the knock-out round.
Our best showing was from Ashley and Katelin in jr. doubles.
They were 2nd in their division - the Silver medalists - beating Nova Scotia in the semi-finals and
lost to Saskatchewan in the finals.
Overall they did great. Congrats to Team Toba! I'm very
proud of you all.
At this time we are looking to host a youth tournament this
fall. Stay tuned...more info to follow.
In 2008 we are hosting the nationals in Winnipeg. Much work
and fundraising required. Anyone with ideas, please let us
know either via email or phone. Volunteers needed too.
It would be wonderful to have our membership grow this year.
This would look good on our resume.
