Team Taya travelled to Bendigo, Victoria for the Australian National Championships last 6-8 October 2017 bringing home a tally of 12 medals from our 12 athletes:

6 Gold Medals and National Champions - In Sparring: Ysabella Querubin, Kiara Fleming, Heaven Alvarez, Diego Querubin, Saachi Sharma, In Poomsae: Chelsea Gomez

3 Silver Medals - All in Sparring: Connor Fleming, Aaditya Kadam, Chelsea Gomez

3 Bronze Medals - In Sparring: Arjun Bhandari, In Poomsae: Saanvi Sharma and Charlize Blissett

Our poomsae girls have achieved personal bests with their overall scores at their first Nationals. Our sparring athletes have fought hard with mixed results - 5 came home as National Champions and 4 lost their matches but learned a lot from the experience which will only make them stronger and wiser.

Overall a fantastic result for Team Taya!  The team and their families all enjoyed the team BBQ dinners at the poolside of the All Seasons Hotel where the team stayed for the duration of the 3-day event and had memorable experiences. Thank you to the parents for your loud cheering, support and encouragement. Well done Team Taya!!!
