TWO NYU SPORT TAEKWONDO TEAM MEMBERS HONORED

01/09/08

Two members of NYU’s Sport Taekwondo team have been selected to the 2007-08 Ivy/Northeast Collegiate Taekwondo League (INCTL) All-Star Team.

Richard Peterson, a senior in the College of Arts and Science, and Emily Shedletsky, a graduate student in the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education & Human Development, will now represent NYU at the UCLA Collegiate Open in Los Angeles, California, on January 19.

The eight-person team will be composed of students from NYU, Cornell University, MIT, Tufts University, and Harvard University. Both Peterson and Shedletsky will be competing in the heavyweight division.

“This is a great honor for these athletes and for NYU,” said NYU head coach Timothy Marmo. “It’s great to see their all their effort and hard work rewarded.”

The INCTL All-Star program was started in 2001-02 to recognize the achievements of individual athletes from around the league and to provide them with additional training opportunities to further their competitive skills. The UCLA Open will be just one part of the group’s training trip from January 16-20.

Peterson, a native of Siren, Wisconsin, who is majoring in history and East Asian studies, and Shedletsky, a native of Brooklyn, NY, who is pursing a master’s degree in international education and development, are the first NYU Sport Taekwondo team members to be selected to the INCTL All-Star Team since Gideon Lin was chosen during the ’01-02 season.
