Yu Ting Chen

PHD Chemical Engineering

Senior Nickname: “King yuting”

2021-2022 UCSD Archery Competitive Team Member

Yu-Ting first joined SGA in 2021, which was also his first year competing. Prior to joining SGA, Yu-ting first learned archery through the UCSD Recreational classes and from there he became committed to this sport. Searching the internet for his first starter bow he bought a Samick Sage recurve bow continuing his practice. Later he then looked for his second bow…specially he was looking for the highest poundage in a commercial recurve bow with his draw length bringing the draw weight to 80#.

His favorite memory with SGA was his first year competing for the team during indoor season at SIACC and Indoor Nationals. Unfortunately he was not able to compete in outdoor season much as he has much conflict with his work as a PHD student. Despite this, Yu-Ting made an effort to practice at the field and shoot more in his apartment.

Yu-ting plans to stay in the area looking for a industry job based around batteries of which he has done much research on. He also had bought a hunting compound bow in hopes of hunting as well in the future. We wish the best of luck with Yu-Ting with his future career.
