Chicago, IL, February 28, 2026<\/strong> – The Midwest Collegiate Taekwondo Conference (MCTC) concluded the 2025\u20132026 season with the MCTC Spring 2026 Championship, hosted by the University of Chicago. As the second and final event of the season, the tournament brought together more than 200 athletes from across the Midwest for a full day of high-level collegiate competition in both poomsae and sparring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams from across the conference gathered in Chicago to close out a season that saw strong participation and continued growth for the region\u2019s collegiate taekwondo community. Athletes competed in nine divisions across poomsae, women\u2019s sparring, and men\u2019s sparring, showcasing the depth of talent developing within MCTC programs. A huge congratulations and thank you to all who were involved, from athletes, coaches, volunteers, and referees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New and Old Faces<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Spring event saw the return of familiar MCTC rivals bidding for their spots in the final standings. MCTC veterans included Northwestern University, Ohio State University, Purdue University, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Michigan State University, University of Chicago, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, all who have participated in several consecutive tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Amazing to see so many returning schools,” remarked MCTC President David Lee. “But we also had a lot of new schools who brought teams for the first time and showed they can be contenders!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Newcomers included Iowa State University, Purdue University in Indianapolis, University of Iowa, and University of Arkansas (who won the Poomsae C League as first time competitors). Other new but returning teams included Washington University in St. Louis, who fields a small but competitive team. The smallest team at the event, University of Missouri Kansas City, perfectly represented what the league is about. Even through competition, other teams helped coach UMKC’s lone athlete and provided camaraderie throughout the day. “I’ll definitely be back in the fall, and with more athletes to field more teams for UMKC!” said Abrar Ali Khan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“I am hopeful that the format of 3v3 competition encourages teams to invest in recruiting and competition,” said David Lee. “It’s a great experience whether you have 1 or 30 athletes on your team, and I am excited for the reputation of our league to continue to draw athletes every year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dramatic Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final matches of the day provided one of the most exciting moments of the season. “The excitement of the day reached a crescendo with the very last sparring match, which was the highlight of the event,” said Tournament Committee member Nick Bayhi. “Underdog A-Teams from Michigan State University and University of Iowa knocked off host school University of Chicago and powerhouse Ohio State University to meet in the finals, where they split Heavy and Middleweight wins. With a win from their Lightweight athlete, Jogi Katende not only brought home victory for MSU A1, he rocketed MSU from 7th place overall to 2nd with the win and earning him MCTC MVP. These are the moments 3v3 was made for!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dramatic conclusion highlighted the intensity and team spirit that define collegiate taekwondo competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2025\u20132026 season proved to be one of the strongest yet for the conference, with broad participation and growing enthusiasm from programs across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was a very fun season,” MCTC President David Lee reflected on the successful season. “We had 27 schools represented between our Fall and Spring events. We’re very excited for the next season!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With continued growth and competitive balance across the conference, the MCTC looks forward to building on the momentum when teams return for the 2026\u20132027 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
