 Four Enterprise YMCA Taewkondo students brought home medals from the State Games of America – the largest athletic contest in the USA since the Olympics! 
There were over 15,000 participants in 60 different sports from 47 states and the District of Columbia … 69 from the state of Alabama! Our state contingent brought home 11 medals in swimming: 2 in track&field - 1 in 11/12 year old recreational soccer; 1 in wrestling; and 4 in Taewkondo. Yes, our kids accounted for 4 of the 19 medals won by Alabamians … and 1 of only 4 Gold medals, won by State Games of America National Champion Michael Dreilinger.

 Rounding out the team of competitors from the Y were William Wallace, who earned a silver medal in the 9/10  year old Advanced, and his younger brother Grason, who also earned a silver medal, in the 8 and under combined Intermediate/Advanced division.
