Match Report: Wushu Finals

In the National Inter-School Wushu Championship 2009 started on the 1st of April and concluded on the 15th of April, with Hwachong emerging as the Overall Champions for the ‘A’ division boys and ‘B’ division boys and took home the challenge trophies for the respective divisions. While the ‘B’ division boys defeated traditional rivals Chung Cheng High (Main), our ‘A’ division boys managed to clinch the overall championship award despite stiff competition from powerhouses VJC, MJC and other rivals such as AJC.

The day began with high hopes of obtaining more medals for our team events to defeat our competitors by a clear margin. In the Group Quanshu event, our ‘A’ boys had a hard fight with VJC, managing to draw with VJC for the 1st placing in raw score, losing only by a small margin. We obtained a silver medal for the Group Weapon event as well, in spite of minor fumbles. Even though we conceded 2 gold medals for our final 2 events, our achievements in the individual events paid off and we managed to defeat 1st runner-up VJC by 1 point and unseat the defending champion from 2008, MJC.
