Team UKKA, a competition karate team with students from both Sandpoint and Spirit Lake, represented both communities at the IMAC World Championship Karate Tournament in Las Vegas on June 22-23.
Only three of the nine-member team were able to attend the event but even so, the three team members won four first-place trophies, four second-place trophies and two third-place trophies. Out of several hundred competitors, they were the only team representing North Idaho.
