“The club would like to congratulate all of their competitors and thank them, their coaches and SUSF elite athlete scholarship holders – Sam Yang and Jessica Moro – who gave up their Sunday to help coach the team to the success that they produced,” said the 2014 Sydney Uni Taekwondo Club Committee.
“We could not have done it without you. Also, of course to Master Hong. Additionally, the club would like to thank our awesome Poomsae volunteers, who made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible and everyone who came and cheered the team on.”
