Great showing for both Kym and Charlie. Two tournaments in the same week is tough. Don't forget to factor that in. Each tournament they get better and better.My son Charlie lost in the quarter finals of both the AAU and the USAT. He learned allot and is motivated to train even harder.
My daughter Kym had a little more success.
She won Gold in the Sr Black belt Division 18-32 Fin weight AAU.
She won a Bronze Medal in the 14-17 JR BB Division USAT JR Olympics
She lost a close fight to the girl who won gold (GIGI Gil) on a head shot with 5 seconds to go.
She lost a close 1 point decision in the SR Nationals in the quarterfinals. 1 point and 1 fight away from Qualifying for the Olympic Trials. She was very happy with what she accomplished and left believing that she is one of the top Fin weights in the country.
I am very proud of her. Not bad for a 16 year old girl.
