AAU National Team Goes to Puerto Rico On Thursday, June 7, 2007 the National AAU Taekwondo Teams traveled to Puerto Rico! Our teams were invited to participate in the Puerto Rican Olympic Festival--a multi-sport event sponsored by the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee. Our athletes stayed at the Olympic Training Center in Puerto Pico and competed alongside both the Puerto Rican "A" and "B" teams along with teams from the Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, and Aruba. "The island of Puerto Rico is a long recognized, official District of the Amateur Athletic Union, says Taekwondo Chair Mike Friello. We are looking forward to developing a long term relationship with the leaders of the Puerto Rican Taekwondo Federation and look forward to many more opportunities for our athletes to compete together. A Junior Team of 50 athletes from Puerto Rico will also be participating this year's National AAU Taekwondo Championship in Fort Lauderdale."
