Sophomore Jiyoung Nakayama is the grand champion of the Fall 2006 Pool League at the UMC Connection.
Jiyoung transferred to the University of Colorado this fall from Seoul, South Korea, and she says she plans to study journalism.
Jiyoung says that pool is very popular in South Korea, where she played in a league with over 400 players and 30 teams. She has been playing pool for fun for a long time, but only recently started playing seriously in any kind of leagues. She enjoys the calm environment in Boulder at CU, and she hopes that more people play in the Connection’s pool leagues in the future.
