Two Mars Area School District students qualified for the National Ninja League World Championships, to be held in late June in Lawrence Township, N.J. 

In the Northeast Division, fifth-grader Kohlee Edwards placed second out of all Mature Kid females; and, and second-grader Maci Kotula took eighth place among all Kid females. Both students train at Steel City Ninja (Wildwood, Pa.).

The national championships bring together competitors in Age 6-8 and Age 9-10 divisions. Participants must complete Stage 1 course runs and skill challenges to earn a spot in Stage 2 and Stage 3 events.
