Public Health major Yu-Ping Huang (黃諭憑), meanwhile, broke the game’s 100 and 200 meter men’s breaststroke records. Huang was also responsible for half of the swimming team’s 8 gold medals this year. In addition, the swimming varsity broke the intercollegiate records of the 200 meter women’s butterfly and 400 meter men’s individual medley.

One of the highlights of this year’s event was when law student Hsuan-Ren Chen (陳宣任) broke his own intercollegiate 800-meter run record at 1:52.50. This was Chen’s second consecutive win of the category.
