When the Helm women come to town, all your medals are leaving with them.

Plundering most of the gold in Salem, Oregon Saturday, Lindsey and Finley Helm scored big at the Northwest District Taekwondo Championships.

Lindsey, a teacher at Coupeville Elementary, laid down a whuppin’, claiming titles in five of six events.

The mother of three earned first in weapons, sparring, creative weapons, combat sparring, and extreme weapons, plus a second in traditional forms.

Meanwhile daughter Finley, coming off a successful track and field season at Coupeville Middle School, earned third place in combat sparring.

The Northwest District consists of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and the four lower provinces of Canada.

A taekwondo titan lurks in Coupeville.

Elementary school teacher by weekday, “sweep the leg” terror by weekend, Lindsey Helm got some props Monday when ATA Martial Arts revealed she was ranked in the top ten nationwide in her age group.

She was one of just two athletes from Washington state to earn the distinction.

Helm, who reps Whidbey Island Martial Arts, currently sits #9 in X-Treme weapons for second- and third-degree black belts in the 40-49 age group for women.

She’s joined in her pursuit of excellence by daughters Finley and Scotlyn, who have both been busy collecting medals of their own.

But there can only be one true mat master, and, in this house, her name is mom.

She’s the terror of taekwondo town.

Coupeville Elementary School multi-sport star Scotlyn Helm continues to set the sports world ablaze.

When she’s not punching the pedal through the metal on the racetrack, Finley’s talented lil’ sis is busy flinging kicks and punches on the mat.

Competing with mom Lindsey at her first Class A taekwondo tournament in Eugene this weekend, Scotlyn brought home an assortment of medals.

She scored in forms, weapons, combat, and sparring.

Scotlyn gets congratulations from her trainer, who told her to “sweep the leg!”

While Scotlyn was kickin’ fanny and takin’ names, mom Lindsey was also busy.

The popular Coupeville teacher, staying on top of her game in case she has to put down any ruckuses in class, earned her own medals in combat, creative weapons, and X-Treme weapons.

Lindsey and Finley share a moment before mom goes out and lays down a whuppin’.

It was an action-packed weekend for the Helm family.

Dad Jerry, Central Whidbey’s Fire Chief, was busy revving his engine as a stock car racer at Evergreen Speedway, while mom Lindsey, Coupeville Elementary teacher extraordinaire, was off to Canada to kick some fanny.

She took daughters Finley and Scotlyn with her, and the trio brought home nine medals from a taekwondo tournament of champions in Surrey, British Columbia.

“Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!”

The tourney marked Scotlyn’s first time competing internationally, and Finley’s debut in a black belt ring.

Lindsey earned gold medals in combat sparring, X-Treme weapons, and sparring, while Scotlyn copped first-place in weapons.

Overall, the trio amassed four golds, three silvers, and two bronzes.

All your medals will be ours.

Back in the USA, Jerry, racing for the second time this season, logged his fastest lap times as a driver, ultimately finishing sixth in the main event.

Afterwards, he paid tribute to his support crew.

“Another amazing night from my pit crew, Michael Matros and Philip Brotemarkle,” Jerry Helm said.

“They knocked it out of the park once again on getting the car set up to run with the best.”
