국립부경대학교 체육진흥원(원장 신종대)은 조정부(감독 이준철) 최한석 학생이 실업팀인 충주시청 조정팀에 입단했다고 밝혔다.

국립부경대 해양스포츠전공 4학년인 최한석 학생은 오는 2월 졸업을 앞두고 충주시청 조정팀 입단을 확정하고, 졸업 후 실업팀 선수로 본격 활약한다.

그는 국립부경대에 입학 후 학생운동부인 조정부에 가입해 1학년 때부터 전국비치조정대회, 장보고기전국조정대회, 전국조정선수권대회, 대통령기전국조정대회 등 수많은 대회에서 각종 메달을 휩쓸며 두각을 나타냈다.

최한석 학생은 “비교적 늦게 조정에 입문했지만 열정을 잃지 않고 대학 내내 노력해 좋은 결과를 얻은 것 같다. 당장 올해 대회부터 열심히 준비해 좋은 성과를 내고 싶다.”라고 포부를 밝혔다.

국립부경대는 최한석 학생의 실업팀 입단으로 지난 2017년 조정부를 선수부에서 학생운동부로 전환한 이후 첫 실업팀 선수를 배출하게 됐다.

조정부 이준철 감독은 “학교 체육의 패러다임이 엘리트 체육에서 생활 체육으로 변화하는 가운데 최한석 학생의 실업팀 진출은 의미 있는 사례다. 후배들과 학교 운동부에 동기를 부여해 앞으로 더 많은 유망 선수가 배출될 것으로 기대한다.”라고 밝혔다. <부경투데이>

Pukyong National University’s Physical Education Promotion Center (Director Shin Jong-dae) announced that rowing team member Choi Han-seok (Coach Lee Jun-cheol) has been selected to join the professional team, Chungju City Hall Rowing Team.

Choi Han-seok, a senior majoring in Marine Sports at Pukyong National University, has confirmed his entry into the Chungju City Hall Rowing Team, ahead of his graduation in February. He will officially start his professional career as a member of the team after graduation.

He joined the rowing team, a student sports club at Pukyong National University, and since his first year, he has stood out by winning various medals at numerous competitions such as the National Beach Rowing Championship, Jangbogo National Rowing Championship, National Rowing Championship, and President’s Cup National Rowing Championship.

Choi Han-seok said, “Although I started rowing relatively late, I never lost my passion and worked hard throughout my university years to achieve good results. I am determined to prepare thoroughly for this year’s competitions and deliver great performances.”

Pukyong National University has produced its first professional team athlete since transitioning the rowing team from a competitive sports department to a student sports club in 2017, with Choi Han-seok’s entry into the Chungju City Hall rowing team.

Rowing team coach Lee Jun-cheol stated, “As the paradigm of school sports shifts from elite sports to recreational sports, Choi Han-seok’s entry into a professional team is a meaningful case. It will inspire younger students and the school’s athletic department, and I expect more promising athletes to emerge in the future.” <Pukyong Today>
