The general championship trophy was handed over to the Rector of UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum., on Thursday (09/20/2018).

Dadang Arif Dwi Saputro, the Chairman of Tapak Suci of UAD explained that at this championship, UAD brought 22 athletes and 4 trainers. The gold medals were won by Herdiyana Asmoroningtyas (Indonesian Literature), M. Arfian Hariz (Hadith Interpretation), Dadang Dwi S.

Meanwhile, the silver medals were won by Illyina Aulia A.

"To participate in this championship, UAD Tapak Suci Team conducts the preparation for approximately three months. Routine practice is carried out in the morning, evening and night. We only rested for two days for recovery," explained Dadang Arif Dwi Saputra after handing over the general championship trophy in UAD campus 1 at Jln. Kapas 9, Semaki, Yogyakarta.

Tapak Suci UAD has often become the general champion on regional and national levels. The championship that was held in Unair in 2018 was attended by participants from 34 provinces and leaders of regional Tapak Suci, as well as participants from Timor Leste, so the championship was categorized as an international championship.

For this achievement, Kasiyarno expressed his appreciation on the achievements of the students, especially for Tapak Suci athletes who succeeded in becoming the general champion. Struggle, tenacity and sacrifice are needed to win 6 gold medals, 7 silver medals and 4 bronze medals.

"We see that the efforts made by UAD Tapak Suci Team are serious, so the results are good. Last year, they managed to become the general champion, and now they become the overall champion again again. Alhamdulillah, the Team of Tapak Suci UAD can make the tradition to be the general champion," explained Kasiyarno. (ard)
