Good afternoon Listers,

Last week I sent out a press release concerning a judo camp and judo 
tournament in California. I am pleased to announce the results of the 
tournament.

Nine blind judo athletes participated in one of the largest tournaments in 
the country with approximately 700 to 800 athletes.

Ron Hawthorne of Kansas City took first place in the white to green belt 
division.

Christella Garcia of Chicago, and Sports and Rec's very own VP, took the 
silver medal in her very first judo tournament.

Andre Watson of Philidelphia took third in the brown belt division.

And, Myles Porter took a bronze medal in the open division. Myles is 
currently training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Congratulations to all that competed. I hope that this division continues to 
support and send good wishes to all of these athletes in their attempt to 
qualify for Beijing in 2008.

Lisamaria Martinez, President
Sports and Recreation Division of the
National Federation of the Blind
