National Archery Tournament
This year's tournament, on the other hand, was organized by the National Student Sports Commission of Private Institutions (CONADEIP). Although, in the same way, the UP courts were the first venue for the nationally organized event. Different institutions participated in the tournament, which had the purpose of making archery official in the governmental Commission. " With this, we have already set the stage for it to be consolidated as an official sport," said Luis Enrique (Lucho) Rejas, coordinator of Sports at the hydrocálido campus.
"There were more than 20 participants in an event that lasted three days," says Lucho, proud of his participants. "Our students won a gold medal, a silver medal and two bronze medals in the three categories. The medals were shared among three students: Rodrigo Gonzalez, Brenda Gonzalez and Emiliano Hernandez, giving the University its first medals in this event; which, the idea is to be repeated annually.
These competitions are organized with a clear purpose, as Lucho Rejas explains: "that new archers who are looking for a scholarship in a private institution, see UP as a place where they can show their talent".
This sport has brought very good results for the students of our Institution. I am sure that with the efforts they make in each training session, they will continually bring more joy by showing their skills. Just as they demonstrated last weekend.
