Great Performances at US Grappling!

This weekend we brought the competition team to US Grappling's Diamond State Games in Bear, Delaware. It was a great showing for Paramount and once again almost every student came home with a medal. Of greater importance is the fact that everyone gave 100%, and took home some valuable lessons from the experience.

Great job to all the guys who competed- many of which came back after disappointing performances in one division to medal in another.



Here are the individual results:
Eric Young- 2nd place, No Gi Intermediate
Mike Tenaglia- 2nd place, Blue belt featherweight
Brian Sieb- 3rd place, Blue belt lightweight
Matt Bauer- 2nd place, White belt lightweight
Kevin Macmullen- 3rd place, White belt middleweight
Mike Todd- 3rd place, White belt Executive Absolute
Adam Carpenter- After sweeping his opponent in the No Gi division Adam injured his knee while trying to pass. He competed again later in the Gi but it was obvious the injury was hindering his movement.
Paul Dinunzio- In Paul's very first tournament he was forced to enter the Advanced Teens division, since there were no other competitors in the Beginner category. With just 3 months training under his belt, Paul was up for the challenge and gave it his all.

Stay tuned for video from the matches, and for next week's Copa Atlantica!
