Two members of the Williams Lake Judo Club threw their ways to silver medals at a judo tournament at the Richmond Oval Saturday.

Jeff DiMarco and his daughter, Georgia DiMarco, competed at the event.

“Georgia had just three [competitors] in her division (under-14, 40 kilograms ) and she won the first and lost the second,” Jeff said.

“I had eight in my division (senior, under 66 kilograms). I lost the first then won four.”

The WLJC is now preparing for an upcoming Prince George Judo Tournament in April.

“Hopefully we will get more competitors to travel to that one,” DiMarco said.
