Consistency
The successes of these athletes were shaped by their dedication to preparing themselves for this competition. Getta Shafada, one of those athletes, hoped for him and other athletes to earn even more medals in the years to come.
“Our dedication and training have finally come to fruition. However, the campus has also provided us with excellent facilities, allowing us to push our potential to their limits,” he uttered.
On a separate occasion, Dr. Rindra Yusianto, S.Kom., M.T., the Head of the Student Affairs Bureau at Udinus, expressed his pride in the attainments earned by those talented athletes. Moreover, he also stated that every form of accomplishment would be appreciated by the campus.
“Udinus will always appreciate both academically accomplished students and non-academically ones. This is among many forms of support the campus gives to accomplished students. Hopefully, this support can motivate other students to make a name for our alma mater,” he concluded. (Humas Udinus/Haris. Foto: Dok. UKM Karate)
