Several of our KC-area roller derby skaters won a national title at USARS Nationals this weekend.

First, coaching Team Satellite women’s team to a national championship gold medal, (nice work ladies), then playing with my roomie Joel Herrera Jr. and other friends on the Satellites open gender team for my second gold medal of the day. One as a coach, one as a player. Big shout out to all the competitive teams who showed up this year and to all of skaters who scrimmaged against us in the Teams USA vs ‘The World’ games. We appreciate you giving our mens and womens Team USA an opportunity to train and practice together. #rollerderby #derby #usarsrollerderby #usars #skaters #rollerskaters #rollerskating #rollerskate #nationalchampions #champions #firstplace #goldmedal #nationalchampion #skatefam #usa #teamusa #teamsatellites #3peat"

I just thought it would be cool to put this out there. The Satellites featured several local skaters from Fountain City Roller Derby: Tiff (a former Team USA skater), Mel Malice, Aneeda Hurtcha, Annie Maul, and Queen of Hurts. As if that wasn't cool enough, Olympic Gold Medalist Erin Jackson was also skating for the Satellites.

Pretty. Effing. Rad.
