Pan American Racquetball Confederation salutes Santo Domingo after Games event

PARC closed out the racquetball competition in Santo Domingo with a public thank-you to the host city, then used its social channels to spotlight the medalists and finalists from the Central American and Caribbean Games field. The federation’s Aug. 5 post called it “What an incredible competition in Santo Domingo!” and paired the message with podium imagery that featured Rodrigo Montoya, Javier Mar, Andrés Acuña and Larissa Faeth.

The clearest match result in the aftermath was Mexico’s championship clincher. PARC said Rodrigo Montoya defeated Andrés Acuña in an incredible five-game match, a finish that gave Mexico the title and underlined how tight the medal round was at the top end. The format matters here: a championship settled in five games is exactly the kind of result that gives racquetball a larger-stage hook inside a multi-sport event, where one match can swing the whole conversation around the sport.

The mixed doubles final added another layer to the championship picture. PARC’s posted finals link showed Andrés Acuña and Larissa Faeth against Rodrigo Montoya and Jessica Parrilla, and the match was part of a finals slate that was streamed live on the Centro Caribe Sports YouTube channel. That live feed is a concrete sign of how these Games appearances help racquetball stay visible beyond the court, especially when medal matches are packaged for a broader regional audience rather than left to in-arena spectators alone.

Santo Domingo mattered as more than a backdrop. The federation’s public salute to the city, coming after the racquetball segment wrapped, signaled that the host site delivered enough for PARC to frame the event as a successful showcase. The broader search results also tied the competition to the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic, placing racquetball inside one of the region’s most established multi-sport stages.

For the athletes, that stage was populated by names with real weight in the Pan American game. Montoya, Acuña, Mar, Faeth and Parrilla all surfaced in medalist and finals content, a reminder that regional Games events remain one of the few places where racquetball can put elite players, live streaming and podium recognition in the same public frame. The Santo Domingo event gave PARC exactly that, and the federation made sure the sport got credit for it.
