She took 1st in her group in both events. All kids get medals. Each group of 3 is awarded 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. But I saw instances where the rank of 1st was given as it was deserved - not just based on who you competed against. A strong, solid performance meant first place.
Of course, for Teagan, 2nd or 3rd would have felt like a failure so I'm very relieved that her first tournament experience was very positive.

What a great thing for Teagan to be doing! (Not to mention how great she looks in her uniform!.) My oldest did one year of martial arts and loved it. It did wonders for his focus and confidence. And it's always nice (both for them and us as parents) when they succeed in what they enjoy.
