2013 National Championships Results

Before we get to the results a big thank you to the team of volunteers who helped make the event possible.  In particular a huge thank you to Jodie Marriott, our event coordinator who did a fine job organising all of our volunteers despite a busy work schedule in the lead up to the nationals and having a household full of sick people, herself included.

It was great to see the standard of competition continuing to rise and a few competitors from NSW who joined us for the tournament.  I think this year, Australia will have a very strong team competing at the Soke Cup in Hong Kong next month.

Now, to the results: 2013 Nationals Results

And a big congratulations to our tournament champions:

  • Little Champion: Abigail Amos (Sunshine Coast), 1st kata & 2nd kumite
  • Junior: James O’Grady (Sunshine Coast), 1st kata & 1st kumite
  • Senior: Viktoria Crouch (Newcastle), 1st kata, 1st kumite

Also a special mention to Henrik Flynn who also placed 1st in both kata and kumite, but Junior Tournament Champion went to James being in the more senior division.

Also, as the 4th round of the QLD Chito-Ryu Tournament circuit, this event was worth triple points, so there are a few big gains for some people now the points have been tallied. Season Rankings (after round 4)

Currently, the top 3 positions are:

  • Henrik Flynn (Sunshine Coast) – 99 points
  • Tia Guy (Sunshine Coast) – 74 points
  • Zennjo Searle (Sunshine Coast) – 63 points

Here are a few photos from the event.

Sunshine Coast Chito-Ryu Karate Beginner Tournament – Results

Congratulations to all competitors stepping up and competing at Sunshine Coast Chito-Ryu Karate Beginner Tournament, held at Millwell Rd Community Centre, Maroochydore, Sunday 19th May 2013.  It was great to see so many members stepping up for their first ever tournament today and stepping out of their comfort zones to do it.

Especially a big thank you to Jodie Marriott stepping into the role of tournament director for the very first time.  She’s done a great job coordinating volunteers and making sure that everything ran smoothly on the day.  Of course it’s a team effort and it’s taken a lot of hands to make the day run smoothly so thank you also to everyone else who volunteered their time.

Now, the part that a lot of people are waiting to see… the results.

Luke Marriott, Jean-Luc McGee & Luc Jones – showing off their medal haul.

 

Cath & Abigail Amos (mother & daughter) – Not bad for your first tournament Cath!

 

 Klaudia Caston – Not bad for a day’s work. Looking good with only a few months to go before heading to Hong Kong for the Soke Cup.
