Tae Kwon Do at the Eastern Collegiate Conference Tournament

The Army West Point Taekwondo Team travelled to Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, to fight in the second Eastern Collegiate Taekwondo Conference tournament of the year. The team had another terrific performance, setting new team and division records by scoring 234 points and opening up an over 200 point lead on second place Rutgers University. The Men’s performance included winning the Men’s Beginner Division and sending two teams to the Men’s Black Belt semi-finals, both placing third overall. Black Belt Heavyweight CDT Rahul Sawhney had one of the highlights of the tournament scoring a knockout in the quarterfinals in just 15 seconds, on his way to an undefeated tournament record. The Men’s brackets each had over 35 teams competing. The Women’s Beginner team fought hard all the way to the finals, placing second in the tournament in a field of 26 teams. The next tournament will be the final tournament of the semester at Brown University on 22 November.
