Father and Son Meet in Longmont Open Semi Finals

For Austin and Scott Preiss the day was Preissless.  The Father and Son table tennis exhibition team switched gears to the more serious side and made it to the semi finals and finals respectively at the Longmont Table Tennis Open.  In the Semi Finals Austin quietly disposed of his father in three games straight,  but they manage to still remain great friends.

Austin (15) recently returned from the World Junior Table Tennis Championships in Orebro , Sweden where he competed with some of the best young players in the world.

In the finals of the Longmont Open in Colorado Austin met Yahao Zhang, 2009 North American Junior Champion and had to settle for a second place finish.

Congratulations to both players for a fine performance and special thanks go to the Longmont tournament organizing committee for presenting a wonderful venue and tournament. 

Austin and Scott are sponsored by Newgy Industries, Escalade Sports, Stiga and Paddle Palace .
