Hail to the team!

Marina's On the Beach/Drawn Skate Team is the 2011 State Games of America National Junior Olympic Skateboarding Champions!

The 16 Marina youngsters competed against some of the best skaters from around the country this past weekend at the 2011 State Games of America in San Diego. Attending this event was a great achievement and a culmination of two and a half years of hard work for them, and everyone's very proud.

The team qualified for the National Championships by becoming the 2010 California Junior Olympic Gold Medal State Champions and the California State Champions for the 2010 California Amateur Skate League National Skate Federation State Championships.
Fourteen out of the 16 members of the team earned individual medals, which in turn earned them the team gold medal.

The champions team will be welcomed at 6:30 p.m. today at the Marina Teen Center, 304 Hillcrest Ave.
