Kenny Hashimoto month on the USJF calendar
This is Kenny Hashimoto's month on the USJF 2003 calendar.  Kenny's bronze medal at the Rendezvous tournament in October assured him of an invitation to the Olympic trials in the 60 kg division. At 17 he is the youngest player but he has shown that he can compete at that level and is currently ranked #4 in the 60 kg division.  In addition to this he is the leading candidate to represent the USA in the Junior world Championships next year.
