Four members of the Creston Judo Club attended the Judo BC provincial championships in Langley on Feb. 7.

With representation from almost every judo club in the province, the two-day event had many judokas competing in divisions of 15 or more fighters.  The competition was followed with a provincial training session that was attended by competitors and coaches.

The Creston Judo Club is very proud to congratulate 2015 B.C. provincial champions Leelen Samuelson, who won gold in the senior division, and Kaeden Rendek, who won gold in the U16 50-kilogram division and bronze in the U18 50-kilogram division.

The club would also like to congratulate Kyle Qualtieri, who won bronze in the U14 60-kilogram division and silver in the U16 60-kilogram division, and Mickevory Sluz ,who participated in his first tournament and held his own against older and more experience competitors.

The club appreciates the parents and coaches who made the trip to Langley, and the Creston business community and volunteers for their continued support of Creston judokas.
