Also the men's team took 3rd place, another very good result.

As the result, 10 points and 6 points given for the women's and men's volleyball competition have been awarded to UTokyo.

<Comment from the captain of the UTokyo women's volleyball team>
We are really happy that we achieved the first-ever championship for the UTokyo women's volleyball team. This happened because we were supported by many people, and because all team members worked very hard to earn it. We aim to get our team promoted during league play this autumn, and we will do our best again without forgetting how grateful we are to everyone. Please support us!

The next competition, the kyudo (Japanese archery) competition, will be held at Ikutoku-do on the Hongo Campus from August 26 to 31, 2016.

Let's cheer for UTokyo!
