THE San Taekwondo competitive team participated in the Caboolture Open on June 16, with four athletes winning their divisions.
Nine students attended the open, and Christine Bedwell, Kaitlyn McNutly, Ben Bastian and Daisy Sakunatawong won gold for the club.
Some of the students at the open had unique and high class opponents which led to their unfortunate losses. Maverick Allanson fought an opponent from Papua New Guinea, who will compete at the Paris Olympics this month.
Jayda Davidson fought an experienced fighter from Adelaide, Hudson O’Brien fought an opponent from Sydney and Aimee Augustin fought an opponent from New Zealand.
San Taekwondo owner, Cameron Taylor, said he was happy with how the team competed at the open.
“It wasn’t our best open in terms of results this year, but it was a great event and helps build experience for our team,” he said.
San Taekwondo finished eighth overall out of 30 clubs who competed from across Queensland.
The club got four gold medals and six silver medals, and now have a few month break to prepare for the Brisbane open in August.
