2009 U.S. Championships
Posted: June 13, 2009

The 2009 national Senior Open Championships was held, for the first time, in conjunction with the national Junior Olympics tournament in Denver, Colorado this week.

MGGA's Jordan Shimmell (201 lbs) decisioned Nicholas Kisner of Maryland to capture the gold medal just a month after bringing home gold at the 2009 National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions in Salt Lake City, Utah. Saginaw's Ernesto Garza III took home bronze after a box-off win on the heels of a semifinal loss at 125 pounds. Of the 33 medals awarded, those were the only two that came home to Michigan. The Great Lakes region (region 5) saw medals go to Terrell Gausha (gold-165 lbs), Rau'shee Warren (bronze-119 lbs), Eddie Alicea (silver-152 lbs), Yuandale Evans (bronze-132 lbs) and Zeddie Adams (bronze-141 lbs).
