GLENVILLE — More than 80 athletes from across the Northeast attended the 35th JMJC Open Developmental Event hosted by the Jason Morris Judo Center last weekend. 

The event aims to help develop athletes and prepare them for competitions by getting them matches in a more casual environment. This year’s event featured U.S. Sr. National Champs Ari Berliner, Kell Berliner, Nicole Stout, and Melissa Myers. Burnt Hills 8th graders Rand and Dani Morris also participated. The event is the brainchild of Teri Takemori and four-time Olympian Jason Morris.
