In a very competitive division for the tournament, Jacob Bornemann ran the table at -77kg, taking gold in a bracket filled with experienced killers and established names, including PSF Teammate Max Hansen. Bornemann stayed composed across the two days of matches
Jacob proved he has what it takes to operate at the highest level.
Meanwhile, in the +99kg division, Brandon Reed smashed his way to gold with a commanding performance from start to finish. A Pedigo athlete and standout wrestler, Reed’s mix of athleticism, wrestling pressure, and submission threats made him nearly untouchable throughout the day.
Brandon’s win continues his rise through the no-gi ranks and further solidifies Pedigo’s dominance in the upper weight classes.
