First month of 2019 brought our junior players a busy national and NorCal schedule. After the NorCal Excellence Tournaments had to be cancelled due to weather conditions many juniors competed across the country in Level 3 National and NorCal Championship tournaments.
Without dropping a set Nav Dayal and Alexis Nguyen won 12’s divisions in Texas and Arizona. Also in Texas Sterling Davies fell just short in a three set battle in the boys’ 12 finals. After a very strong run in boys’ 14 in South Dakota Mason Nguyen had to end his tournament in the semifinals retiring from the ankle injury. Mason and his sister Avery ended fourth. Declan O’Callaghan with several valuable wins in the main draw and play offs added the fifth place in Arizona to the very successful JMG national campaign.
Alexis Johnson (G18) and Saahith Jayaraman (B12) went undefeated in their age groups in the NorCal Championships hosted locally in Fremont and Lafayette.
