Facts and practical information

The RUM Tennis Courts or the Pedro “Golo” Laracuente Tennis Courts is a tennis center at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, as part of a sports complex with the RUM Natatorium and the RUM Racquetball Courts. Built in 2010 next to the natatorium, it held the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games' tennis competitions. It was named after former UPRM tennis athlete and coach, Pedro “Golo” Laracuente, when his former-student Emily Viqueira retired her name from candidacy, feeling that " name and Golo's were going to compete and that did not want to compete with teacher."
