Two Taekwondo Athletes from Illinois are Qualified for
Pan-Am Team Trials, World Championships Team Trials,

The first qualifying event was the Pan Am Team Trials held at Colorado Springs, CO. in the Olympic Training Center September 3-4, 2010. They both did a great job, but finished short. The next event will be the first Olympic Team Trial the weekend of November 13th through the 14th in Colorado Springs at the Olympic Training Center, depending on how these girls do they will hopefully move on to the second trial to be held in Seoul, Korea in May 2011. The World Championship Team Trials will take place again in Colorado Springs early January, 2011. Good luck for the upcoming events!
