If there was ever an imbalance of East versus West regarding United States junior squash...this is it!

At the upcoming U.S. Squash Junior Silver Championships scheduled to be held at the Meadow Mill Athletic Club in Baltimore over the April 20-22 weekend, there are (currently) over 370 players registered to compete.

Except for the boys and girls under 11 divisions, (where only 16 players are allowed to play), only 32 players will be accepted into each of the eight remaining draws who are nationally ranked below the top 32 players. This means that only #33 through #64 of the top-ranked players will be accepted into the remaining eight different 32 player draws.

Guess what...of the 370 plus players registered to play, 354 are from the east coast and only 16 from the west coast! What are the chances of the west coast players making one of the ten different draws...maybe an average of only TWO per 32 player draw!? We'll leave it up to you to guess how many!
