Here’s what Laurel TV has been working on this past week: 

  • Racquetball players call it the world’s fastest sport. At Sportfit Laurel, an international tournament for the world’s most skilled racquetball players is taking place. It’s called the Valentine Open. Tracie Valentine, the coordinator of the event, gave Myleah Lofland an inside look to the racquetball world and its fierce competition and passionate community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQxtPT2WKj0&t=4s
