Kaitlyn Marie Reclusado (born December 1, 2004) is an American taekwondo athlete and world bronze medalist in traditional Poomsae.[2]

Kaitlyn Reclusado started competing internationally in 2020 and won her first major medal at the World Poomsae Championships in the same year, when she became World Junior Champion in traditional poomsae. The single-elimination tournament was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She also won first place in the junior's individual poomsae competition at the 2020 Pan American Championships, which were held online as well.[3][4]

At the 2022 World Championships in Goyang, she beat her teammate Karyn Real in the quarter finale, lost to Marjan Salahshouri in the semi-finale and thus claimed a bronze medal at the women's Recognized Poomsae senior competition (ages 18 to 30).[5][6] She also competed in the women's team competition (each team consisting of three women), where her team placed fifth.[7]

Reclusado won a bronze and a gold medal at the 2022 Pan American Championships and won two more gold medals at the same competition in 2024. In 2023, she claimed the USA's first gold medal at the women's traditional Poomsae competition at the Pan American Games in Santiago.[8]
