Our team did really well this past weekend and I’m proud of all the guys that competed. Some of the notable results:
Derek Picinich, despite being well under the 200 lbs. limit stepped in on a short notice into the 4-man superfight. He won his 1st fight against Nolan Dutcher by commanding margin and faced Rafael Lovato Jr. (who is both a World & 2x Pan American Champion as a Black Belt) in the finals. Although Derek lost on points, he put forth a game performance, and wound up with Silver Medal.
Gold medals – Jason Ratchford (Brown Belt Gi Master), Billy Lyons (No-Gi Novice) and Stan Arangelov (No-Gi Beginner).
Bronze medal – Sergio DeBari (No-Gi Intermediate).
Also of note, most of our guys wins came via submissions. Congratulations guys!
Enjoy some of the podium pictures.
