The trip to Bendigo proved to be a happy and successful journey with Team Taya winning 5 Golds out of 7 athletes. Our Coloured Belts competed at their first Nationals and were crowned Australian National Champions for 2016 in their respective divisions after some tough matches against competitors from across the country.
Unfortunately our two Black Belts who were previous National Champions have fought hard but lost in their preliminary rounds showing courage and indomitable spirit.They have all learned from this experience and will undoubtedly come back stronger, fitter, tougher and wiser. Well done and congratulations Team Taya! We are very proud of you all!
Our team results were as follows:
Connor Fleming Gold
Aaditya Kadam Gold
Ysabella Querubin Gold
Kiara Fleming Gold
Sofia Querubin Gold
Jordan Elliott Participated
Kyan Gonzales Participated
