Two Gold Medals from the American Cup
May 2, 2010
After a disciplined week of watching his weight and hard training, Roger found himself ahead 5-0 in his match. With a little less than a minute to go, his opponent threw his legs up for a triangle choke. Roger's dominance on the mat against a medalist is proof he has been developing his game. A little more work and he will be on the medal stand in no time!
Although Eliot normally competes in the Super heavy category, he was bumped up to compete with the big boys in the Ultra heavy category this weekend. After an exciting start on the feet, Eliot was able to rack up the points and finish the match with an arm triangle.
Entering the absolute (all weights) category, Eliot won his first match with more than a 10 point lead. His second match was a nail-biter, coming down to the last second for him to win with an advantage point. Eliot won both, his weight division and absolute division. The tournament was hosted at Los Gatos High School in Los Gatos, CA.
