Todd Harrity Wins Bronze Medal At 2010 World University Games
July 14, 2010 | Men's Squash
Rising sophomore Todd Harrity, the 2010 Ivy League Rookie of the Year and a national individual finalist, upset the No. 1 player from Hong Kong to win the bronze medal at the 2010 World University Games, held in Melbourne, Australia.
Harrity, who leads a five-person U.S. team that encompasses five different Ivy League schools, reached the semifinal round with two victories following a first round bye. In the second round, he topped Australia's Sam Brown 11-3, 11-5, 11-9, then followed with a 12-10, 11-8, 7-11, 11-5 upset of Great Britain's Peter Creed, who had been ranked in the top four.
His championship run ended at the hands of second-seeded Jens Schoor, a 23-year-old German ranked 103rd in the world. That sent Harrity to the 3/4 final against Hong Kong's Leo Au, who had earlier defeated Canada's Colin West in a five-game thriller. West, who graduated from Harvard last year, defeated Harrity in the national individual final this past season. Harrity upset Au to finish third, the highest finish for any of the American players.
A team competition will follow, and the U.S. is expected to be seeded third, behind No. 1 England and No. 2 Hong Kong. Canada is seeded fourth, which means a Harrity-West rematch could still take place later in the draw.
