Augusta axe thrower to compete in Blade Masters on ESPN2
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – One of Augusta’s own “Making the Cut” will compete on ESPN2.
You might’ve seen Kendra Tubman in downtown Augusts, competing at Broad Axe Throwing.
Tubman is now preparing to compete Friday in the “Blade Masters” event with the World Axe Throwing League.
She tells us she’s beyond excited to drum up more interest in this growing sport.
“I realized there’s not a lot of female throwers in WATL. So, I wanted to be a representation for them, especially since there are not a lot of African American female throwers. So, I thought that would be a great opportunity for me and for others to shine. Kind of get more people interested in the sport,” said Tubman.
Tubman will be part of the ‘blue team’ during Friday’s competition.
It’ll broadcast live starting at 8 a.m. on ESPN2.
