Day 3 — Final Day of the USAT East American Open
We wrapped up the tournament with Giovanni and Jayden competing in Cadet Sparring.
Giovanni had a very tough start, getting sick from nerves right after stepping onto the ring. But he quickly recovered, fought through it, won his first match, and advanced all the way to the finals, earning a well-deserved silver medal.
Jayden also fought hard against a bigger opponent and showed great heart and determination, finishing with a valuable bronze medal.
Over the past three days, there were many challenges and unexpected moments, but every experience becomes a lesson and a foundation for growth.
We are proud of our young athletes for standing strong on a big stage.
Let’s keep learning, growing, and moving forward!
