PTTC Competes at it's First Junior Olympic Championship in Austin, TX
Ever since November of 2008 our school started a competition team for those students who have a passion for competition and would like to excel at tournaments. Our new born team has been making a lot of noise in the tournament circuit. The goal of PTTC Competition Team is to always be prepared for a tournament, and to have a good performance at the USAT National Qualifiers in San Jose, CA. The results of the National Qualifiers was way past expectation.
Now that our goal was met, the students had the choice if they want to keep going and compete at the Junior Olympics (JO). Some decided no, the rest decided yes. The 11 who decided to go have been training very rigorously for the past month. They have been training "2 a days" every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. They will be competing against the top four from each state and region. Please wish the following students GOOD LUCK as they leave for Texas next week:
Jayden L. - Blue Belt
Jeric B. - Blue Belt
Ira P. - Blue Belt
Isaak M. - Blue Belt
Nikki P. - Blue Belt
Steven R. - Blue Belt
Noah S. - Blue Belt
Charles S. - Black Belt
Kenodre W. - Black Belt
Gary S. - Black Belt
Mitchell A. - Black Belt
