West Point Judo highlights from Army Navy Judo Tournament

The entire West Point Judo team descended upon Drexel University for the 2nd Army --Navy weekend intercollegiate Judo team competition. This year, the competition included two teams from Army, two from Navy, two from Drexel University, and one from Penn State. Each team was comprised of one woman and five men in ascending weight divisions and three alternates. West Point Judo Team A included cadets Larisa Tudor ('13), Catherine Donohoe ('13), Josh Sandhaus ('11), John Barnes ('13), Carson Giammaria ('14), Sung Won Jung ('12), Anthony Adez ('11), Patrick Singley ('12), and Nick Hochertz ('11). West Point's Team B included cadets Ivonne Rotter (German Exc), Katherine Clarke --Pounder ('13), Travis Zahnow ('11), Pablo Rivera ('12), Charles Bennett ('12), Nick Walhquist ('12), Josiah McCoy ('11), Spenser Donaldson ('12), and Michael Gibson.

West Point Judo team A did not lose a single match in the entire tournament. They first fought Drexel B and won all matches by Ippon. Four of the matches were won in less than 10 seconds. In team competition, a full throw (Ippon) gives you 10 points towards the win and as all the team members have completed facing their opponents, all the points are added to decide the winner. On their second match of the tournament, they faced Navy's B team. West Point Judo won all matches by perfect throws and defeated Navy 60-0. Their third and final match was against Army's B team and team A won the match 30-0 to secure the first place in the competition.

West Point Judo team B faced the Navy A during their first appearance in the tournament. Team B also defeated Navy with all perfect throws and outscored the midshipmen 60-0. After losing to the Army A team, they went down to the losers bracket to face Drexel's team 1 for the 2nd place spot. West Point's B team defeated Drexel 24-20 to secure the second place in the event.

Overall, West Point Judo won 29 out of 33 individual fights in this tournament. Three matches ended on a tie and only one was lost. A great end of the team's fall developmental term where our Judokas met several goals by also defeating Air Force, taking seven first places at North Eastern Championships, bring three medals from the Dallas Invitational, and of course Beating Navy! Go ARMY JUDO!
