Watch out! 

Sky McIntyre, an incoming freshman at Franklin High School, is a force to be reckoned with on the taekwondo mat. 

McIntyre earned a gold medal in the 14-17 Female Black Belt Under 92.3 pounds Olympic style sparring division at the 2009 National AAU Youth & Adult Taekwondo Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 

She also earned two gold medals at the 2009 USA Taekwondo Junior Olympics in Austin, Texas.  McIntyre brought home gold in the 12-13 Female Black Belt 2nd degree Lightweight Forms division and the 12-13 Female Black Belt 1st degree Bantam Olympic style sparring division.  This was McIntyre’s third national title at the USA Taekwondo Junior Olympics.

By winning at the National AAU Youth & Adult Taekwondo Championships, McIntyre earned the chance to participate in the AAU National Taekwondo Team Trials in September.

McIntyre has been studying Taekwondo for over six years and is currently a second degree black belt.
