The National Championships had approximately 4,500 competitors. The center's students had to qualify for event. Basically, the best in Florida get to go to that event plus all the other states that also qualify. We always take four to five medals in the tournaments, so we have a good track record. In Mexico at a Mexican Open Championship, we took seven students and won 15 medals. |
