Over the past half century, beginning in 1970 with the late Margaret Riehl who as President of the United States Woman’s Squash Racquets Association spearheaded the consolidation of organized women’s and men’s Squash in America into what is now U.S. Squash, the participation of women has exploded nationwide.

Thanks, in large part, to Meadow Mill Athletic Club, Baltimore is a center for coaching and competitive play. Thousands, including most local high schools and colleges, have chosen Meadow Mill to be their home courts. Beginning with junior girls, hundreds of women in Maryland have made their mark as talented state and national players – hundreds more enjoy Squash as an everyday life changing pursuit.

For more than a quarter century, the women featured on the front cover have made a substantial contribution to the advancement of Squash in Maryland as champion players, coaches, managers and volunteers. They are the grand ladies of Maryland Squash.
