Moreno might be our representative in Beijing!



Moreno, competing for the first time outside the United States, won his first two matches before falling to two-time Junior World champion Dyamal Otarsultanov of Russia 1-0, 1-2, 1-0. Moreno (Palo Alto, Calif./Gator WC) came back to win three matches to capture the bronze medal at 55 kg/121 lbs.

Henry Cejudo (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) and Matt Azevedo (Pismo Beach, Calif./Sunkist Kids) both failed to place at 55 kg/121 lbs. Cejudo, a 2007 World Team member, won his first match before being pinned in 45 seconds by Zhassulan Mukhtarbekuly of Kazakhstan. Azevedo fell to Mukhtarbekuly 2-0, 7-0 in the first round. Mukhtarbekuly placed eighth at the 2007 World Championships.

Moreno is real tough. I can see him making the team.
