Eres una gran persona y deportista! It is also worth mentioning that Paola has designed her line of sports apparel and clothing. Check out he...

Happy Birthday to WPRO Professional Racquetball player Paola Longoria who turns 22 today. She is the first Mexican woman to attain the #1 ranking on the Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) tour, doing so at the end of the 2008-09 season and at the end of 2009-2010 season as well. Paola is also the first Mexican - woman or man - to win the prestigious US OPEN Racquetball Championships in 2008. She has been a finalist the last two years losing only to Rhonda Rajsich in those finishes. Also, Longoria won eight consecutive International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships from 2001 to 2008, winning twice in each age category from 12 and under, 14 and under, 16 and under, and 18 and under.
