Blanchard and Lanteignes mine Gold in California 2009-01-09 by Randy Pascal
While achieving success at top end international competitions might be old hat for Benoit Team XTreme member Justin
Lanteigne, the 2009 National Black Belt League (NBL) Super Grands held recently in Sacramento (California) provided a breakthrough
for teammates Trevor Blanchard and Jordan Lanteigne.
All three captured Gold as Blanchard nabbed top spot in Jr Traditional Forms, Justin Lanteigne topped his grouping in
Traditional Weapons while Jordan Lanteigne picked up his first solo world title, finishing first in the 17 and under Open
Forms Division.
Christian Fey also managed to secure a Silver medal for the Benoit crew while Sean Grech registered a top
eight finish in all of the divisions in which he competed.
