Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, 12/12/23
The third Race 4 Eight Icebreaker and twenty-fourth overall Icebreaker kicks off at the WPH’s Clark Park on Saturday, December 16, with the game’s best small ball stars aiming to etch their names onto the Clark Park Wall of Fame. In addition to the R48 Icebreaker, women’s and junior stars will also be in action in singles play.
Four-time Icebreaker champion Lucho Cordova enters the 2023 R48 Icebreaker as the defending champion and R48 #1. Lucho has not won a title since his 2023 Juarez R48 LTE win in April in Juarez and will have to overcome his surging brother Danos, five-time Icebreaker champion David Fink, 2023 Player’s Championship finalist Leo Canales, Jr., fourteen-time USHA 3-Wall national champion and R48 #6 Sean Lenning and nine additional Race 4 Eight pros to win his fifth Icebreaker.
Women’s Icebreaker stars Mikaila Esser and Ashley Ruiz will renew their rivalry at Clark Park in the Women’s Pro singles, with WR48 #6 Clodagh Munroe making her first Icebreaker start and Tucson’s Belisa Camacho rounding out the women’s round robin field.
