[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Seo Chunsu, the mayor of Hamyang County, encouraged the athletes participating in the 49th KBS Cup National Athletics Competition, which will be held in Yecheon County, Gyeongbuk, from June 3 to 7.

According to the county, at 2 p.m. on the 1st, Mayor Seo invited Song Kyung-yeol, chairman of the Hamyang County Sports Council, Kim Chang-han, secretary general, Jo Soon-nam, track coach of Hamyang Jeil High School, Seok Yoon-soo, athletics coach, and athletes participating in the national athletics competition to the mayor’s office.

At the meeting, Mayor Seo said, “Everyone here is the pride of Hamyang and the next-generation promising athletes who will lead the future of Korean athletics,” and urged, “Regardless of ranking, please prepare for the competition and perform your best.”

In this competition, nine athletes will participate, including Park Yeon-ju (3rd year), a student of Hamyang Jeil High School who ranked first in the 400m hurdles at the last National Autumn Middle and High School Athletics Competition.

Song Kyung-yeol, chairman of the Sports Council, said, “The sweat of the athletes who have worked hard despite the difficult situation due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) will not betray them,” and added, “Please show your skills.”

In particular, since this competition is held together with the national team selection competition and the Dream Tree athlete selection competition, it is expected to be an opportunity for the athletes to grow one step further.
