A lot of ground has been covered since we traveled to Louisville, Kentucky, for the World Nationals. This is just a snapshot from our school and most of competitors from Bluegrass. Not in photo, is Mr. Riaan Van Dyk. Riaan did a great job, winning (2) trophies in top 3 in his division. Mr. Van Dyk was only .02 from going to Grand Champ, Black belt, in World Nationals. We will post a more conclusive accounting, as soon as our info is compiled. Thank so much to all of our community for support and donations. We could not have done it without you. Thanks to all parents who toiled endlessly, getting ready and so much cooking. It was great! More later. Do not forget our August 9th tournament in ElDorado Springs. Thanks to an annonymous benefactor, we will have $400 in Black belt prize money, in addition to GChamp trophies. It's gonna be fun! IHS, Sensei Fleener
