This past weekend, Sitan Gym Arizona came to fight, bringing some new fighters and some returning faces to the tournament. We had a final team of 7 athletes, 4 taking home championship belts. Sitan came in #1 in Arizona for a 5th championship in a row, taking fourth overall. Special shoutout to Chris Valenzuela and Collin Brasfield, placing in the Top 10 athletes of the tournament. Chris fought in the A and B class brackets, taking home the A class belt and a B class silver medal. Collin fought in the B and C class brackets, taking home the C class belt and a B class silver medal.
Sitan Gym was able to succeed because of an amazing team effort. Thank you to our athletes for their hard work and dedication, their families for their support, and to everyone who showed up during camp to train with and hold for our competitors. It truly takes everyone.
Thank you to Omar, Fernando, Ruben, Beth, Kody, and Brad for their help running and managing athletes at the tournament.
The team performed should be proud of their hard work. We placed among teams that had 15 – 20 athletes, with less than half of their numbers. We’ll be back in November for the fall tournament.
