It was an exciting day for our team members who traveled to Skokie, IL for the Tohkon Classic XX Tournament on Saturday. Coach George Weers was back in action coaching after recovering sufficiently from his shoulder surgery. Coach Stefan Habsburg helped coach his wife, Natalie, while he waits to get back on the mat after months of recovering from knee surgery.
Our team members who competed fought hard and made us proud. Alex Wolfe had three matches and won Silver in his division. Natalie Habsburg competed twice. She lost both matches to pins. Nana had two matches in her junior division and while she did not win either match, she made us proud with her performance.
At the end of the day, it was agreed that this had been an excellent opportunity and good experience. We're proud of our teammates for competing at this highly aggressive tournament against very experienced players. Congratulations to Alex on winning Silver and way to go Natalie and Nana!
