Squad News - Dutch Open

KML Academy students went to Amsterdam this week to represent KML, Higashi and England on the international stage.

The squad were comprised of Myla K, Inaya S, Janelle K, Aiden E, Nya O, Freya K Soraya, Amariah O, Lorena K and Aidan S.

The final ranking speaks for itself...and what an epic finish it was! Myla and Nya both competed in their bronze medal matches, and I’m thrilled to say they each won their rep and became victorious bronze medalists!

A massive congratulations to the entire team! You’ve all shown incredible courage and improvement, and I couldn’t be prouder of each one of you. We had some fantastic results: gold medals for Lorena, Soraya, Amariah, and Inaya, and silver for Soraya, bronze medals for Myla, Freya, and Nya.

Our small but talented group has secured fourth place on the medal table, and that’s something to celebrate! Take time to enjoy your success with your team and family; you’ve all earned it.

Best,

--Sensei Jerome
