Campbell won singles and doubles titles in the men's 65s, Covington did the same in the men's 55s and Haynes claimed championships in women's 75s singles and doubles.
DeWayne McCamish, Mike Parker, Rob Healy and Blain Smith were each 1-1 in the finals; McCamish teamed with Campbell to win the Men's 65s doubles, Mke Parker won the Mixed 55s doubles with Elizabeth Bohac, Healy and Sue Bartlett won the Mixed 35s and Smith teamed with Glenn Crouch to win the Men's 45s doubles.
