Adam Hugh was the number one table tennis player under sixteen in the United States and is most noted for his victory in the 2003 North American Cadet Championship, as well as the US National Cadet Championship.
Other career accomplishments include finishing third in singles, doubles and team at the ITTF Junior Circuit Tournament in Canada. He finished 11 at the World Cadet Challenge. In the team event, North America lost in the semi-final to Asia 2-3, and Hugh took two points: one over World Cadet finalist and Asian Cadet Champion Jun Mizutani from Japan and the number one cadet from Hong Kong, Li, Kwun Ngai. Hugh finished seventh at the 2003 US Men's Team Trials in Atlanta, missing the US Team basically by one game. If he had beaten De Tran instead of losing 4-3, he would have been the number 4 player who was sent to the world's in Paris. At this event Hugh beat Eric Owens, Brian Pace, David Wang, and Ashu Jain.[1]
In recent years he has beaten:
- Li Yu Xiang three times
- Shao Yu twice
- David Fernández
- Sean Lonergan twice
- Barney Reed twice
