National Capital Open 2010

AKHIL

What do you get when you take (3)long days + (-)leg room + (badminton)^10 + D + C??? The DC open of course!  The long weekend proved to be challenging yet fun.  A record number of participants came from all over the east coast to compete in Maryland this year and despite the stiff competition, Drexel gave a respectable performance.  A breakdown of the official results can be found here. Listed below are Drexel highlights. Nice job, team.

Akhil reached semi's in MS (B)
An reached semi's in WS (B)
Akhil and Heidi reached quarter's in XD (B)
Anna reached quarters in WS (C)
Sara reached quarters in WS (C)
Peter and Z reached quarters in MD (C)

There is a ton of media from this event. Below is what I have so far.  Be sure to check it all out, especially that "say" video.  If you have any photos or video from the event, please send them on over.

Look out, D.C.

The National Capitol Open is less than 3 days away.  Those of us lucky enough to be rewarded a spot in the draw will be departing this weekend for the University of Maryland.  This years event was flooded with over 300 entries and sadly, many players on our team were sanctioned to the wait list. Most of us, however, were lucky enough to gain entry into at least one event... tough luck, Aaron. This weekend will most likely be very fun and what better way to start it out than a 2 - 3 hour car ride!

Details for the DC Open, including the weather, can be found here.

It's going to be an intense weekend. Rest up!
