TASHKENT, UZBEKISTAN — Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School graduate Hannah Martin took seventh place at the Tashkent Grand Slam, a main event on the International Judo Federation’s Judo Tour.
Martin, from the Jason Morris Judo Center (JMJC) in Glenville, jumped 8 spots on the 63kg world ranking list up to #34. Hannah has only been back a little over a year since taking two years off to have a baby, and with this result qualifies for the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, May 7-13, 2023.
The JMJC has now qualified a remarkable 37 athletes for the Worlds and are likely to qualify more for Doha.
