Competing in the U18 girls division were Megan Hammer who was narrowly defeated by teammate Hannah Thomson who came home with bronze and Sidney Koevoet winning silver.
In the U18 mens division Liam Teetzel won silver. In the junior boys division were Ben Gilmet winning bronze and Noah Teetzel winning gold. Junior girls were Anna Koevoet winning gold with sister Megan narrowly missing bronze. Senior competitor Michael Teetzel brought home silver after fighting off against a black belt competitor.
