Listing an international award from before 9th grade in honors

I have 2 gold medals from the International Taekwondo Festival back in elementary. Should I list these in the honors section/resume or leave them out?

As the other answers say, you really shouldn't include any items before 9th grade.

Not from elementary. Have you continued taekwondo into high school? If so, then that's more than 7 YEARS of martial arts. Impressive and worth putting on your resume. But if you dropped in in elementary or middle school, don't include it.
