Career
El Halaby attended Princeton University from 2002-2006. He won the College Squash Association individual championships an unprecedented four straight times. He also was a member of a squad that almost toppled the Trinity College (Connecticut) squash team's 100+ match win streak, but he failed to convert four match balls against Freshman Gustav Detter and lost (it later emerged that El Halaby was competing with two torn Achilles tendons).
