NJ state TKD tournament

Last weekend was the New Jersey state TKD tournament. This is the 3rd tournament this year Lance has participated in to prepare for Nationals in July. He did AWESOME!!!!! We swept the division and got first place in forms and sparring. Lance has another tournament coming up this Saturday in Annapolis and we hope to bring home 2 more gold medals!! He is really pumped about it and hopes to beat his competition from the MD state tournament. He said, “You mess with the bull you get the horns” Hahaha, he is a mess!

Taking pictures at tournaments is still a challenge for me. The lighting is usually terrible and getting in good position is nearly impossible. Here is the best I could do:)

Judge is indicating that Lance won this first round:)

Last minute tips from Mr. Gray

First Place!!!

This pic is special because the woman in front of him awarding his medal is Mrs. Ames. She is an official that goes to all of the tournaments and she works directly with our school on forms in particular. Lance was thrilled to have her award his medal. She said that she was proud of how awesome he did and she was glad she got to hang that gold medal around his neck:)

I love watching them on the side lines analyze the competitors and strategize!

Snapped a little too soon but that official is holding up 1 finger to indicate that Lance got first!!

Our whole team did great! Look at all that medal:)

Double Gold baby!!
