Champions Cup, March Promotions and More!

Los Altos Champions Cup

Hanabi had 17 competitors at the Champion’s Cup in Los Altos last Sunday, March 10, and all of them did wonderfully. We finished with three bronze medals, three silver and five gold! Taiyo, Caio, Shuhan, Jargal and Ulysses were our first place winners.

Congratulations to them and everyone who competed at the Champion’s Cup!
