Summerlin Judo, located at Summerlin Academy in Bartow, had 11 athletes competing at the Sunshine State Games Saturday, June 21, at the Lakeland Center. The team came away with 10 medals.
“All our kids showed some significant improvement,” stated a proud Brian Germain, Summerlin Judo’s head coach. “We were running stadium steps, doing a lot of fundamental drills, and fighting practice in preparation for this tournament. It’s good to see the effort paying off with medals around the kids’ necks and smiles on their faces.”
