Success for karate trio

Bermuda Karate Organisation’s Andrea McKey and Jasmyn Renfroe excelled in an open competition in Reston, Virginia.

McKey placed first in traditional weapons, second in open weapons and second in traditional forms, while Jasmyn Renfroe placed second in traditional weapons — missing first by one tenth of a point — and third in traditional forms.

They were sponsored in the event by the BKO in recognition of their performance in local tournaments during 2013.

Also competing was BKO president and founder Skipper Ingham, 83, who placed third in the 40 and up men's traditional forms in a field of seven.
