19th Annual All Girls National Championships Report

Over the weekend in Chicago, girls' teams from thirteen of our schools faced off against some of the nation's strongest female players at the 19th Annual All Girls National Championship. Impressively, many of our teams secured top-ten placements in their respective sections, some even competing with only two players instead of the usual four or five.

Our programs really showed their strength in the Under 10 section. Scarlett Kong clinched 3rd place with 5.5 points, while Wanru Ye secured 5th place with 5.0 points, after navigating through three intense days and six challenging rounds.

We want to extend our gratitude and thank everyone who contributed to this success - parents, players, school staff, coaches, and the dedicated players who put in the hard work at our Rookie Academies, All Girls Events, Grands Prix, and team tournaments throughout the year.

The competition season is reaching its peak with the Elementary National Championships in Ohio just around the corner. We encourage all our players to keep participating in our weekend events and apply everything they've learned this year to achieve even greater success on a national level this spring.
