The CU Taekwondo Club won four gold medals at the Colorado State championships on Saturday with two of the medalists also qualifying for the Colorado State Team.

The top fighters, who competed in the black belt divisions, faced off against nationally and internationally seasoned fighters, coming from different schools in the state.

Sunu Sohn, a club officer and a junior at CU, successfully defended his state-champion title defeating his first opponent 15 to 14.

Sohn and his opponent from Champion Taekwondo Academy in Thornton were neck-and-neck throughout the fight. Sohn started off on the defensive after his opponent charged him with a crescent kick to the head, before pushing him out of the ring.
