Senior Nickname: “McMatthew”

2022-2023 UCSD Archery Competitive Team Member

Matthew joined SGA during the Spring of 2022 and made a majority of his memories with the club in his senior year. Matthew’s first exposure to archery was years ago at a summer camp, but didn’t continue pursuing it until he came to UCSD. He had originally found out about the club at the 2021-2022 school year’s workshops but was apathetic at first continuing his time shooting. Luckily he would continue his archery journey with the club during the 2022-2023 school year where he would strive and work hard to become a competitive team member for both the indoor and outdoor seasons.

During his time with SGA, one of Matthew’s most memorable (for better or for worse) moments was the trip to Sacramento for the West Regional Outdoor Collegiate Championship. During the trip, fellow archer and senior Shane Jost’s birthday had been incorrect on one of his documents leading to complications at the airport. Not only that, when some of the team dined at a Denny’s: Matthew and fellow club member Randy Duong became trapped within the bathroom when the door wouldn’t open. Other strange and coincidental occurrences included, Matthew’s visit to Sacramento was a strange one and he currently holds no desire to return any time soon.

However not all of Matthew’s time with SGA has been marked with torment. Although the archery club is where Matthew had honed his skills as an archer, it’s also where he made some great friends too. Matthews' favorite part of the club was the people: having made friends like fellow seniors Tiffany Lin and Shane Jost just to name a couple. Getting to know everyone was one of the greatest parts of Matthew’s time with the club. Whether it was talking on the field, going to catch pokemon in Pokemon Go with friends, or at competitions across the state: Matthew’s time with SGA was only enhanced by those he spent time with.

Matthew now plans on looking for a job and whilst still residing in San Diego. All the while, he commented that he might return to the field as a community member to shoot more with the club. We wish the best of luck with Matthew, and hope we see him on the field once more sometime soon.
