Mid-Atlantic 2017 Bronze and Silver

Timothy got a bronze in Poomsae. And a Silver in Sparring today at the Mid-Atlantic. In the sparring portion Timothy had to spar four matches with three one minute rounds in each match. Coming out with Silver was an amazing accomplishment considering the boys towered over Timothy by at least 6”. One boy he had to spar twice and two others he only sparred once. Here’s some pictures.

Bronze Medal.

The boy with no chest gear on is who Timothy had to spar twice. The one in the blue chest gear he sparred once and there was one other boy who he beat that got knocked out of the competition all together by Timothy.

Silver Medal.

Interesting Talk

Timothy’s Grand Master told us that he made history on Saturday with his clean sweep win. We gathered that no kid in his age and weight group had ever done that before. That made what Timothy did Saturday all the more impressive. To say we are proud of this kid is quite the understatement. He really did an incredibly awesome job on Saturday.

Tim's 2025 Accomplishments!

Tim had a huge year in 2025, moving through three weight classes. He began in the 61 kg division and finished in the 71 kg division, with the June weight category update shifting the weight classes. Despite all the transitions, Tim made tremendous progress. He earned 4 Gold Medals, 4 Silver Medals (6 Silver finishes) & 3 Bronze Medals (4 Bronze finishes) - which were his 1st USA National Level Medals. To top all that off he is the record holder for the snatch & total in the Youth 71kg division for WSO Carolinas. A standout year filled with growth, experience, and momentum for Tim.

Heaven Gained a Hero Aug. 16, 1935 to May 16, 2024 - 88 years old

It's hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. Pop (Franklin Eugene Neal) was born in Ashland, KY. He graduated Thomas R. Brown High School and was a proud Army National Guard Veteran. He loved cars and working on them. He loved racing them with his boys, Jeff and Scot. He could fix just about anything. If he didn't have a tool for something then he'd make it. He valued family above everything. He loved traveling and going to amusement parks with his kids and grandkids, especially Disney World. He will forever be missed and forever be in our hearts! (this is not his official Obit)

Brown High School, where she met the love of her life, Franklin Neal, who preceded her in death in 2024. Married for over 70 years, Doris and Frank built a life centered on love and family, raising their three children: Elaine, Jeffrey, and Scot. A devoted member of Faith Christian Assembly, Doris cherished homemaking, gardening, floral arranging, crocheting, and reading. Above all, she was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother—always her family’s biggest cheerleader. She is survived by her 3 children, her 5 grandchildren, and her 5 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her 2 brothers, along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
