In the final, with a tight 3-3 score against Kyungnam University, HONG Ji-eun (3rd year, Physical Education) defeated the opponent and won the championship.
Captain KIM Min-jae (4th year, Department of Physical Education) of the team said, “I am grateful to the players who worked together and the parents who supported each competition. YU Wrestling Team will train harder in this season with the goal of winning three gold medals.”
Coach HEO Yong of the team, who led YU to the championship and received the Outstanding Coach Award, said, “I am grateful to Coach LEE Seung-ho for doing his best always to guide the students, the university officials who supported us to concentrate on training, the parents who always support us, the Alumni Association of the team, and the Sponsorship Advisory Committee. I will work with the players to help the Ssireum Team, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, show even more outstanding skills.”
