Spartan Judoka take on South America and Georgia

March 18, 2015

This past few weeks has been packed with training, traveling, and competitions for student athletes Colton Brown, Janine Nakao, Corwin Learned, and Brent Yasukochi. These four have been touring South America for three major tournaments in Chile, Uruguay, and finally Argentina this upcoming weekend. Although no medals yet, these four had great fights and are hoping for some hardware this weekend. Many countries sent their top teams.

This weekend is also the Grand Prix in Tblisi, Georgia. Marti Malloy will be competing with a few other U.S. athletes this weekend. The following weekend, she plans on competing in the New York Open Team tournament. For info from last year’s NY Open, click here.
