2019 Pan American Racquetball Championships


The 2019 Pan American Racquetball Championships took place in Barranquilla, Colombia from April 12-20 at the Parque de Racquetas La Castellana, which was used for the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games. Boliva won both Men’s Singles and Doubles for the 1st time in tournament history, while Mexico won both Women’s Singles and Doubles for the 5th time.
Carlos Keller of Bolivia successfully defended the gold medal he won in 2018 by defeating the USA’s Charlie Pratt in the Men’s Singles final, and Keller’s brother Roland won gold in Men’s Doubles with Conrrado Moscoso, as they defeated Canadians Coby Iwaasa and Samuel Murray in the final. Roland Keller's gold was his 2nd in Men's Doubles at the Pan Am Championships, as he'd previously won gold with Ricardo Monroy in 2012.
Paola Longoria won Pan Am Championship gold in Women’s Singles for a record extending 8th time in Barranquilla, where she defeated Maria Jose Vargas in the final. Longoria and Samantha Salas won Women’s Doubles for a 6th time together. Their win over Colombians Cristina Amaya and Adriana Riveros in the final was the 6th consecutive title for Mexico.
