Fifteen-year-old David Cliffe competed in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and defeated four opponents to win gold.

Devon Jardine, also a junior, fought four opponents and lost only to teammate Cliffe in the finals earning Jardine the silver.

Riley Michael, 17, fought two opponents in Modified kickboxing and won Gold. Michael did so well Coach Chase asked the tournament promoters if Michael could fight in the men’s devision which had much stiffer competition and allows more full contact. Michael fought four hard fights and came out with a silver.

The fourth student, Thomas Connor, also 17, competed in men’s advanced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and defeated both opponents for the gold medal.
