NORTH CAROLINA (SEPT 25, 2001) Late results on the USA
Women's National Boxing Championships that took place at the Marine Base
Camp Lejune, in North Carolina, September 19 - 22, 2001...One Hundred and
sixty five competitors had pre-registered for the USA Women's National
Boxing Championships, but only fifty-one women showed for the event. This
was the first time since the Nationals been going on that there has been
such a small turn out. We think it was due to the recent attack on
America in New York and Washington D.C.
The women who showed up were very determined
to make this amateur boxing event. The event was especially important
to the USA Boxing organization, because this was the first year that winners
from the Women's National will qualified to attend the first Continental
Games in October and the World games in November, which should have around
thirty-eight countries entering their women boxers. These games will
be taking place in Scranton, PA. These tournament will open the doors
for women boxers to compete in the 2008 Olympics.
The National's at Camp Lejune had thirty-nine
scheduled bouts. California and New York had the most women attending
the event. The accommodations in Camp Lejune during the week of the
boxing event were very nice. All boxers and coaches were given access
to all their recreational facilities and stores. Every women boxed
with pride and respect to each other. All bouts were as follows:
