Fantastic Medal Haul in York
On Sunday 19th May we had twenty five members travel to the York Karate Kids Championships at the lovely setting of Sandburn Hall on the outskirts of York.
The team included fourteen squad members and eleven non-squad members representing the dojo for the first time, having qualified through the recent competitions skills courses held at the dojo. Here are the competitors who were part of the team:
Frankie Carless, Tian Elaouami, Archie Hill, Warrick Howarth, Henry Jones, Phoebe Jones, Bartek Lipowski, Aylah Milligan, Freya Milligan, Imogen Milligan, Louis Mills, Ciprian Nicolae, Kile Noorani, Szymon Nowikowski, Christopher Pearson, Ryan Peck, Darius Rahmati, Aisha Ratnasabapathy, Leonardo Roque Henriques, Zach Ruizo, Faye Salt, Anand Sihota, Benjamin Stanley, Joseph Stanley, Jacob Townsend.
The performances of every single team member were superb whether they medalled or not. Nobody let themselves down and we saw many personal best performances as well as a huge amount of potential from the newbies who all fitted in well. The camaraderie was superb.
As ever, thank you to all family members and friends who went along to support the team and a big thank you to Paul Stanley for helping Steve Carless coach on the day.
Overall we finished top of the medal table with 11 Gold, 7 Silver and 14 Bronze medals. Congratulations to all medallists:
