HANOVER, Mass. — Saco’s Sarah Patil has continued her impressive taekwondo career by taking home two gold medals in the AAU New England taekwondo championships in Hanover, Massachusetts this weekend.

Patil, 10, is a Saco native and has been competing in taekwondo since she was young. Patil was born prematurely in Portland in 2006, weighing just 1 pound, 5 ounces.

Her father Sunny Patil decided to enroll her in the sport to learn self defense, and she has shined ever since. Patil has also taken home gold at the Boston International Tournament as well as the Rhode Island Championships.

Patil competes in both Sparring and Poomse.
