Makimoto Judo Tournament

Team Sacramento competed in the Makimoto Judo Tournament on February 27, in Vacaville. The team had a great day sending 18 competitors into action bringing home 6 gold, 6 silver, 4 bronze, 1 fourth place, for a total of 17 medals in 18 divisions. We had many competitors fighting it out in the same divisions. Gavin Davis-Smith and Deven Phillips placed one-two, Albert Williams and Julian Estrada also placed one-two, and a clean sweep in another division with Ryan Elgarico, Jordan Greenfelder, and Desmyn Williams sweeping the medal stand. It was great to see Ellis Shaw return and take a bronze in a very tough division and first time competitor Dalton Boyer came home with a gold. A special welcome back to Kyle Roberts who saw his first action after shoulder surgery placing second. Here are the individual results:
