CODY ELKINS
A senior at Palisades High, Cody competed in the Boys 21-and-Under Singles Gold Division at the XXXIII International Racquetball Federation’s World Junior Championships in Guatemala and he advanced to the round of 16 against older players. Back in June, the Brentwood resident upset Lucas Bain of Portland, Oregon, 11-9, 10-12, 11-6, 11-8, and Samuel Schulze of Ocala, Florida, 11-8, 11-1, 6-11, 10-12, 12-10, to reach the finals of the Boys Singles 21-and-Under Gold Division at the 2022 USA Racquetball National Junior Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. Cody took a set off of top-seeded Micah Farmer of San Marcos, Texas, in the finals—a player five years older. He also paired with Schulze to make the finals in doubles. Cody also represented Palisades at the High School Nationals in March. To nominate your favorite Palisadian for Athlete of the Week, email sports@palipost.com.
