Contributed by: Nicole Jomantas/USA Judo on 11/29/2005

(Northglenn, Colo.) – More than 100 athletes competed at the Pan American Masters Championships in Northglenn, Colo., Nov. 19, where athletes 30-years-old and over from 10 countries vied for age group titles.

 Scott Moore (Englewood, Colo./90kg), 2000 Paralympic gold medalist, claimed his first Master’s title with quick wins by ippon (similar to a pin in wrestling or knock-out in boxing) over Michael Hudson (Arvada, Colo./Hyland Hills) and Michael Vandehey (Wichita Falls, Texas/Texoma Judo).

 Moore’s wife Heidi Moore (Englewood, Colo./+78kg), a 2005 World Team member and the second ranked women’s heavyweight on the elite senior roster also fought in her first Master’s event, defeating Lisa Guerrero (Frazier Park, Calif./Mountain Judo) and Deadra Walker (Frazier Park, Calif./Mountain Judo) to win gold.

 Two 2005 World Masters Champions competed at this weekend’s event with Jessica Lockfeld (Denver, Colo./Denver Judo/70kg) winning gold in her division and Ralph Lisle (Carlsbad, Calif./73kg) taking the silver medal following a loss to Fred LeMond (Horse Creek, Wy./Cheyenne Judo).
