Our very own Brana Vlašić, who trains in the JUIC Competitive Coaching Group, made it to the semi final round of the 2012 College Table Tennis Championships!

She represented her college, UCSD, in Plano, Texas where the event was held. Be sure to congratulate her!

Every Sunday at noon, there is an open round robin at Santa Monica College. Since we were closed for Earth Day, some SDTTA members decided to drive up and compete in it with some good results! Last Sunday, our very own Earl Alto and Ron Spencer took 1st and 2nd place, respectively.

Last weekend in Woodland Hills, CA was the Northridge Open presented by the Northridge Table Tennis Club at El Camino High School.Students of the JUIC Training Group (headed by Stellan & Angelita Bengtsson) had a great showing!

After a tough loss to former US Men’s Singles Champion Jim Butler in the Men’s Open, long time club member Earl Alto stayed focused and became the champion of the U2500 event! Also, Teddy Tran (who consistently drives down from Orange County every weekend specifically to train in Stellan’s group) made it to the semi-finals of the Men’s Open! And guess what? He’s only 14 years old!
