Team Sacramento had tremendous success this past weekend at the USJF/USJA Junior Nationals in Irvine California. Congratulations to all of the competitors for not only their results but their dedication throughout the season and leading up to the event. The hard work put in by the athletes showed, as all competitors exhibited excellent technical judo, outstanding physical conditioning, and the KONJO fighting spirit! WE DID GREAT JUDO! Great judo is what we strive for and with great judo comes great results as we posted a record of 28 wins and 10 losses with 27 wins by ipon! A special congratulations to Marlina Luz as she was honored with a special award for Best Technique. Here are the individual results for the competitors:
Curtis Booth- Gold 2010 National Champion
Ashley Booth- Gold 2010 National Champion
Marlina Luz- Gold 2010 National Champion
Daniel Luz- Gold 2010 National Champion
Molly Bides- Gold 2010 Novice National Champion
Austin Ward- Silver Novice
Syria Rhodes- Silve IJF
CJ Byrd- Bronze Novice
Ellis Shaw- DNP
Matt Ontiveros- 5th Place
I would also like to personally commend Syria Rhodes for demonstrating composure and honor in the face of extremely unfair and unfortunate circumstances. Syria was the victim of several circumstances beyond her control that resulted in her not placing in one of her divisions. I will only say that as a KONJO judoka she unlike her opponent showed true character in the face of adversity. If Syria never wins another match in her life I will still be proud of her for her character and class this past weekend. She represented your team in a way that all of us can learn from, by overcoming unfair obstacles and achieving great success the next day in the more prestigious IJF competition. Thank you Syria for showing the entire team that character is more important than unearned medals. I expect all of our athletes to always demonstrate character, leadership, sportsmanship, and above all to do what is right.
