University of Bath Sport Performance student Prisca Awiti-Alcaraz, who is supported by a King Scholarship, set the tone on Saturday as she was crowned as national junior champion in the -63kg weight division.
The following day’s Senior Championships saw Gary Hall, a bronze-medallist at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, dominate the -90kg competition to retain his British title. Sam Potts, who represents Team Bath and Gosport, won bronze.
The golden hat-trick was completed by Commonwealth Champion Megan Fletcher, who recorded a Yuko in the last five seconds of her -70kg final against Ryecroft’s Katie-Jemima Yeats-Brown.
Fletcher tweeted: “A very close final, but I am National Champ. Thank you for the awesome support from Team Bath today.”
Adam Hall and Conor Murphy won silver and bronze respectively in the men’s -100kg competition, while Adam Conroy and Sports Performance graduate Gregg Varey were runners-up in the -60kg and -66kg weight divisions.
Team Bath’s judoka are coached by Juergen Klinger in the dojo at the Sports Training Village.
