	History Something to Boast About: Weymuller Draws Top Players Over the past decade, the Weymuller has drawn the top-ranked professionals from all over the globe becoming not only one of the longest running, but the premier WISPA (Women’s International Squash Program Association) event in North America. Winners over the years have included Michelle Martin (Australia, three time champion), Cassie Jackman (England, three time champion), Fiona Geaves (England), Natalie Grainger (United States, two time champion) Nicol David (Malaysia), and last year’s 2009 winner, Jenny Duncalf (England). Most notable is that many of the players who have won the Weymuller have been ranked at the top of the world’s ranking system with several competitors becoming number one subsequent to the tournament. Established in 1973 by Carol Weymuller, a former squash professional at The Heights Casino, its mission is to promote women’s squash in the United States. In 1980, to honor Carol’s contributions, the tournament was renamed The Carol Weymuller Open. Game Change: Originally a hardball event limited to the top players in the United States and Canada, the tournament was converted to the softball in 1993. The seven-time Weymuller winner, Alicia McConnell (1980-1986), then The Heights Casino’s co-head professional, successfully transformed the Weymuller into a WISPA event. The tournament has grown as the sport has become increasingly popular among women and girls. Girls now outnumber boys in many of the junior programs in the United States.
