On Saturday and Sunday March 26^th and 27^th, 2011 nearly 700 athletes competed at the Liberty Bell Judo Classic, a USA Judo Senior Point Tournament held at the Academy of New Church – Asplundh Field House, Bryn Athyn, PA.

 

Three Princeton Judoka competed in this prestigious event in preparation for the USA Judo Senior Nationals being held next month in Orlando Florida and USA Judo Junior Nationals being held this summer in Toledo Ohio.  

 

Bringing home a Gold medal in the Girl’s Advanced 13-16 year old 48 kilogram division was Michelle Arias. Michelle’s next goal will be defending her 3 time New Jersey State Judo Championship crown next week at the 2011 New Jersey State Judo Championship being held at the YWCA Princeton in Princeton New Jersey on Sunday April 3^rd. Michelle is also preparing for the 2011 USA Judo Junior Nationals being held this summer in Toledo Ohio and the US Open.  

 

Following up on her Gold medal finish at the 2011 Pedro Challenge in Wakefield, Mass in February and her Gold medal finish at the 2011 National Collegiate Judo Association Championship held at West Point Military Academy in early March was Alaine Abuan. Alaine brought home the Bronze medal in the Women’s Elite 52 kilogram Division. Alaine’s upcoming goals will be competing in the 2011 New Jersey State Judo Championship on April 3^rd, the World Collegiate Judo Association Championship being held in China in late April as well as competing in the 2011 USA Judo Senior Nationals being held next month in Orlando Florida.

 

Princeton Judo club instructor Mike Tusay continues his march towards the USA Judo Senior Nationals with a Gold medal finish in the Men’s Masters level 81 Kilogram division. This Gold medal finish follows his Silver medal finish at the 2011 Pedro Challenge in Wakefield, Mass. Michael will next be competing in the 2011 New Jersey State Judo Championship on April 3^rd  and the 2011 USA Judo Senior Nationals being held next month in Orlando Florida.

On March 12^th, 2011 the U.S. Military Academy at West Point had the privilege to host the 2011 National Collegiate Judo Association Championships. One hundred and thirty seven novice and advanced Judo athletes representing 33 different colleges and universities attended this year’s event. With the support of USA Judo, this event attracted high level collegiate athletes. Representing the College of New Jersey was Alaine Abuan; an instructor with the Princeton Judo club. Ms. Abuan won the Gold Medal in the Women’s Advanced rank 52 kilogram weight division. Her accomplishment has qualified her for an opportunity to participate at the World University Judo Championships in China later this year. Ms. Abuan’s additional recent accomplishments include a Gold medal finish at the 2011 Pedro Challenge and a Silver Medal finish at the 2010 United States Senior Nationals.
