The
Baldwin
Wallace
University
men's
and
women's
intercollegiate
racquetball
team
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
country
in
any
division.
Ohio
Racquetball
Association
(ORA)
Hall
of
Fame
Head
Coach
Tim
Miller
and
his
teams
have
proven
it
over
and
over.
Once
again
this
year,
Miller
and
the
Yellow
Jackets
have
captured
men's
and
women's
USA
Racquetball
national
titles.
"What
a
great
privilege
it
is
to
coach
such
terrific
athletes,"
said
Miller,
who
was
inducted
into
the
ORA
Hall
of
Fame
in
late
February.
"To
be
the
best
team
in
the
nation
is
a
great
feat."
Men

The
BW
men
dominated
the
competition,
besting
second
place
Colorado
State
University
by
more
than
500
points
and
topping
third
place
Oregon

University
by
more
than
1,000

The

Each

BW's
six
players
claimed
either
a
gold,
silver
or
bronze
medal
in
singles.
"For
Thomas
Carter
to
win
the
singles
individual
national
title
and
make
the
USA
national
team
is
phenomenal.
To
have
Manolo
and
Thomas
to
be
crowned
the
best
doubles
team
in
the
country
is
extraordinary,"
said
Miller.
"To
have
all
our

make
it
to
the
finals
in
the
gold
divisions
and
become
USA

All
Americans
makes
me
so
proud
of
them.
To
win
all
three
gold
division
doubles
championships
is
unprecedented."
