Congratulations to Caelyn Huon and Mia Sierra-Price on taking silver and bronze at Kid Pans this past weekend! They battled through some tough matches into the medal rounds and both lost razor close matches in the finals and semis. Caelyn rounds off her time in the kids division as a Pan Kids 1x Champion and 4 time medalist. Mia makes her mark with a medal at her very first time competing at Pan Kids. Congrats girls!

Congratulations to Nicolas Ortiz! The third competitor out of our kids program to conquer Pan Kids! Nick had 3 tough matches through a stacked division and managed to come out the victor. Congrats Nick! We are so proud of you!

Day 2 started off strong with some really great performances from our kids! Both the first time competitors and veterans put forth their best effort and as a result we managed to scrounge up 3rd overall and 2nd in the teens division despite a small team relative to the field! So proud of everyone for their courage and effort today! Excited to get back to work tomorrow 🪖🪖🪖
