STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Vanessa Calimquim is a sophomore PEACE student. Her quiet demeanor and reserve may give some the impression that she is passive and non-aggressive; however, Vanessa proves her mental and physical strength and competitive edge in a rare art form, judo.

After only being introduced to judo four years ago, Vanessa has created quite a name for herself. She is ranked number one on the US roster for the 96-pound weight class. Furthermore, Vanessa has been awarded numerous medals for her accomplishments: the bronze at Senior Nationals and as a team member of the Pan American USA Team, the silver at Junior Olympics; and the gold at the California State Championships , the US Judo Federation Junior Nationals, and the US Judo Association Junior Nationals. Needless to say, she is undeniably a force to be reckoned with.

Vanessa is sponsored by Adidas. Her goals are to continue to make the Pan American US Team. Currently, she is working on increasing her weight so she can qualify for the Olympic Team (lowest weight class for women is 105 pounds). In the future, her dream is to represent USA and bring home the Olympic Gold.

Not only is Vanessa dedicated to mastering her judo techniques, but she also enjoys giving back to the community by teaching and coaching younger kids on the team, as well as refereeing at local judo tournaments. Vanessa claims, “ J udo has helped me to stay focused, and it gives me the drive to always do well, on the mat and in school.”

The PEACE Academy is proud of Vanessa and all of her accomplishments. Kudos Vanessa!
