 From our youngest competitor (age 3) to our oldest adult (anonymous), Team Emfield performed magnificently at Submission Challenge XV. Each and every student was an example of class, sportsmanship, and technique. A few highlights from the tournament: *You guys won all three absolute gi divisions - the men's, women's, and teen's. (Congratulations Jeremy Shive, Jessi Ralph, and James Emfield) *Allyn Phillips yet again wins the marathon award with a 55 minute match. Edo was a close second with a nearly 40 minute match. They both won those matches and went on to take 2nd and 3rd in their division. *Kyle and Dallas win the rookie of the year award. Both with less than 20 hours on the mats. Kyle took 4th and Dallas won his division in the no-gi. *Several times you guys had to fight each other for first place. These were some of the best matches of the tournament. *You were smooth, technical, and most importantly, represented the team off the mats as well as on. Thank you for being the kind of people others want to be like. Pictures from the competition are now available. For those who haven't seem a submission challenge before, these competitions are especially fun because there are no time limits and no points. Precision's Facebook page has pictures and videos from the tournament. Here are a few shots from the tournament. (Thanks to Jessi, as always for the amazing photography!)          | Archives |
