Kyra and her medals
North Devon judo star bagging medals
Kyra McDonald from Kingsley School Judo Club, based in Bideford, has won a triple crown of National Championship medals this season.
Kyra, 13, who made her debut in the U15 age band events on the British Judo Pre-Cadet Circuit, began her record-breaking season by winning the British Schools National Title in March. She won the gold medal in Sheffield after defeating Emma Simpson from Newminster in the final.
Kyra continued her winning streak by becoming the English Champion at the English Championships held in London in September and was selected for the England Development Squad Programme.
She then won a bronze medal at the British National Championships held in Sheffield last weekend, finishing her season as the English Number one in the U63kg U15 category. It is remarkable considering that Kyra is in her first year in this age group and she still has another year to improve even further.
The club is extremely proud of Kyra's accomplishments and looks forward to seeing what next year holds for her and the rest of the team at Kingsley School Judo Club. In January, the club will host several beginner courses. If you are interested, please contact Simon Ward at sward@kingsleyschoolbideford.co.uk
