USA Karate Team Trials & National Championships in Reno, Nevada

Members of the Illinois Shotokan Karate Club (ISKC) competed in Reno, NV last week for the 2018 USA Karate National Championships and a spot to represent the US at the Jr. Pan-American games in Brazil. Julia Rodriguez (12) and teammate Alyssa Floresca (12) both received 2 bronze medals in their events. Many members of ISKC medaled and there are a few athletes who practice in Bolingbrook that will represent the United States in Brazil as well as on the US Jr. Olympic team. Congratulations to all of the athletes of ISKC, Bolingbrook and especially to Julia and Alyssa on their bronze medal performances!
