 YU Athletics Club won the overall championship for the women's college division at the 77th National Collegiate Athletics Championships.

YU Athletics Club ranked first with 2 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze medals in the women's college division held in Jeon Naju-si Naju Sport Complex on June 13th through 15th.

YU Athletics Club is a relatively small college club consisting of 4 males and 3 females. It is further surprising that only three female athletic players made such achievement. 

 Especially, LEE Ga-eun (3rd year, Department of Special Physical Education) won a total of three medals, including two gold medals in the 400m and 1,600m mixed relay events and one silver medal in the 200m. Also, she updated her personal best records in the 400m and 200m.

 Coach SOHN Sang-yeong of YU Athletic Club said, we worked hard in winter training, but in the first half of this year, I was worried because male players were not good due to injuries. It seems that female players were able to achieve good results by working hard as well as the male players. I really want to say thank you to the university for supporting me with interest and affection. We will do our best in the rest of the year to achieve good results.”
