Highlands Ranch Rec Center, Highlands Ranch, Colorado – Well over 300 pro and amateur players made their way to Colorado for what was likely the biggest indoor event of the season. The Championships spotlighted both the LPRT and IRT, with special attention to arguably the toughest Mixed Pro draw in racquetball history. Paola Longoria and Conrado Moscosco were double winners on the weekend taking home some heavy hardware, including engraved glass event trophies.
The LPRT would like to extend our sincere thanks to Jim Hiser and his event team for hosting a fun, action packed, and successful event. Our appreciation goes to all of the sponsors who made the event possible, with a special shout out to Title Sponsor Keith Minor of KWM Gutterman.

The depth of talent of the current LPRT athletes is arguably the best we have seen in years, and that was highlighted with this year's battle for season end rankings. Mexico leads with 6 players ranked in the top 20, including players holding the 1, 2, and 3 ranking positions. USA edges out Argentina with 4 players in the top 20, verses a respective 3 out the top 20. Bolivia, Guatemala, and Colombia tie with 2 players ranked in the top 20, and to round out that list, Chile has 1 athlete.

The LPRT 2022-2023 season ending event “Battle at the Beach” presented by Invicta
Security Services was full of amazing athleticism, ace serves, and emotions. Montse Mejia
(MEX) not only won the event, but she also finished the season as the new, #1 ranked
player on the LPRT.
In a tearful, heartfelt, post-final interview, Mejia reflected on her #1 accomplishment being a
childhood dream. She said, “I have no words. I am too happy.”
Mejia joins an elite crowd of 13 other women who earned the season-end #1 title. The most
recent of those being Paola Longoria (MEX). Although this was a difficult loss for Longoria,
her recording-setting accomplishments will be celebrated for years to come. Longoria has
earned a record 13 season ending #1 titles (to date), 11 of those titles consecutively.
A big thank you to tournament director and sponsor, Malia Bailey, for bringing the LPRT
back to Virginia. Thank you to presenting sponsor Invicta Security Services for your
repeated support. Thank you to sponsors Joreth Consulting, City Wide Truck and Auto
Sales, LPL Financial, JKB Solutions, Tidewater Landworks, Spencart Properties, Gene Fry, Malcolm Dailey-Costco, Greg Giordano, and Sunshine Arterburn.
