Northwestern University served as the host for the event on March 1, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was another historic event for MCTC, as teams competed for a second regional championship in the same season, a first for the league. &#8220;I was really impressed not just by the turnout of schools, but also the marked progress that all of the teams have made since the last event in the fall.&#8221; said Coach David Lee, President of MCTC. &#8220;It really speaks to the energy of the athletes and coaches in this region. Everyone here is dedicated to growing the size and quality of collegiate Taekwondo. There&#8217;s never been a better time to be involved!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those teams is&nbsp;Northwestern University, who is&nbsp;quickly becoming a cornerstone of the region. \u201cIt was incredible because I could watch our organization growing and thriving in real time,&#8221; remarked Izzy Lisco, President of NUTKD. &#8220;The sportsmanship, competitiveness, and overall excitement of the athletes, volunteers, and coaches was inspiring. Seeing the community flourish makes all work that goes into hosting worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The competition atmosphere was energetic,&#8221; said Jason Dalhberg from University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. &#8220;It was amazing to see so many teams in one place cheering with so much passion and excitement for their teammates.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Washington University made their first-ever appearance at MCTC as they prepare for the NCTA National Championship. &#8220;It\u2019s so amazing to see a collegiate taekwondo league develop in the Midwest and that we are able to participate in a tournament closer to home!&#8221; said Julia Baguio from WashU. &#8220;This tournament has given us lots of experience and things to work on in preparation for the NCTA cup in April.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As MCTC continues to grow, the organization is looking to scale with its teams. This event had double the number of volunteers from the Fall, a new Poomsae system with live scoring, and improved efficiencies in Sparring matchmaking. These commitments to continuous improvements didn&#8217;t go unnoticed by Coach Humza Qazi of UIUC. &#8220;I remain impressed and inspired by MCTC\u2019s continued commitment to professionalism in its tournament practices. MCTC served as the perfect opportunity to ease myself back into the competitive scene, for which I am very grateful toward Coach Lee and his team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MCTC even selected its first All-Star Team, who will receive stipends to compete at NCTA and a dedicated training to continue evolving their skills. &#8220;The ultimate goal is to support our athletes here in the Midwest,&#8221; explained Coach Lee. &#8220;There is so much talent here, and I believe with the right support and experience, athletes will not only thrive in competition but also in their own communities as they bring back positive experiences and new skills to share with their teams. We cannot get better in silos. We have to keep pushing our communities together to be the best we can be.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This championship wraps up the 2024-2025 season, as MCTC shifts its focus to the 2025-2026 season. A Training Camp, Fall Championship, and Spring Championship are all in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Exhibition Demonstration Team
