[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Changwon University archery team participated in the '23rd Korea University Archery Federation President's Cup' held at Gwangju Women's University on the 14th. Student Hwang Jae-min (3rd year, Department of Physical Education) won two bronze medals, placing 3rd in the individual preliminary round and 3rd in the 30m event, officially starting his challenge for the Taeguk mark.

Student Hwang Jae-min faced difficulties throughout the season due to an elbow injury, resulting in lower-than-expected performance, but he recovered from the injury and won medals through this competition.

Hwang Jae-min said, "I want to challenge my dream of becoming a national representative with good results in the remaining season and also bring honor to my school."

Coach Yoon Young-il evaluated, "Hwang Jae-min's 355 points in the 30m event means scoring 10 points in 31 out of 36 shots and only 5 shots scoring 9 points. It is a meaningful achievement to place 3rd even though he has not fully recovered from his injury."

Changwon University archery team students Joo Hye-bin and Hwang Jae-min have secured the right to participate in the first national team selection starting on the 31st, giving up their summer vacation and sweating hard toward becoming national representatives.
