Golden Gloves ends in silver
medals for Grguric, Vodden

"Start throwing punches," says
Lakeview Boxing coach Kirk Killam
as 14 -year-old Alex Vodden gets cor-
nered in the gym at Total Fitness Apr.
30. "Give her a little push and get out
of there."
The 'her' in question in Goderich's
own Natalie Grguric, and both she
and Vodden are freshly returned finm
this year's Golden Gloves competi-
tion in Kitchener -Waterloo with sil-
ver to show for it.
"Make her off balance:' Killam
interjects as the younger fighter looks
for a way out of the two-fisted conun-
drum he wandered into.
'Fuming to another young fighter,
Killam offers a different set of in-
structions.
"Four straights, four hooks. Four
straights, four hooks."
When all the boxers are engaged in
their drills, Killam starts recounting
the tournament, and Grgurics very
close loss by decision to Hamilton's
Amanda Beaudin.
"When the decision was announced,
the crowd booed," Killam says with
pride in his .voice. "I've watched the
fight on tape and I couldn't see how
we lost that fight."
Grguric never got tired, kept her
head and feet moving and executed
what Killam calls an "almost flawless
fight."
By this time, the buzzer sounds and
the sparring round is over. Grguric
jumps right into the discussion.
"My head got jarred," said the
featherweight fighter. "But that's just
one punch. I blocked a ton more.
"It was busy."
Back in Goderich with time to
spare before her May 24 bouts in Ha-
nover, Grguric is once again making
boxing available to all at the end of
the month.
Take Heart Huron is funding six
weeks of free boxing classes for kids
18 and under beginning May 25. To-
tal Fitness has donated their space and
time to the classes, to be held Monday
and Wednesday from 6-7p.m.
