Honolulu's Arnold Toriumi, a 2009 graduate of Punahou School, has earned a spot on USA Judo's Junior World Team.

Toriumi, who belongs to Hawai'i Tenri Judo Club, captured first in the 132-pound division at last weekend's USA Judo National Junior Olympic Championships held at Disneyworld in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Toriumi, a two-time state high school champion, entered the Junior Olympics as the top seed and went 4-0 to claim his spot on the Junior World Team.

He is the second Tenri judoka to qualify for the Junior World Team in as many years and was awarded with the Best Technique award.

Also, Kane'ohe's Anthony Kwon won the Outstanding Competitor award after he won the 145-pound division in the Junior Olympics, but lost to California's Kyle Taketa in the Trials.

Honolulu's Chrissy Chow fell in the 115-pound division Junior Olympic final. Sister Mindy Chow upset top-seeded Angelica Delgado in the first final match at 126 pounds, but lost the next two.

At 97 pounds, Honolulu's Taylor Ibera, the 2008 Senior Pan Am champion, also won the first final but lost in the next two to finish second.

The Junior World Championships will be Oct. 22 to 25 in Athens, Greece.
