2018 National Collegiate Judo Championships

The 2018 National Collegiate Judo Championships was in Ames, Iowa. Tournament play began on March 11, 2018 at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center. 4th dan Derick Wellman and the legendary 7th dan Randy Pierce assisted in the officiating of this tournament. Phillip Vojta was the sole representative of Team White Dragon. Vojta entered a largely talented 81kg group. Vojta gave a tremendous effort, winning one of his matches by ippon. Vojta did not medal in this tournament but the season is young and there is plenty of JUDO in this judoka.
