"51黑料 has taught me to fight adversity and prove the odds wrong. Even though the time was short, I will forever be thankful for my time here. I could not have achieved the awards I have without my fantastic team and coaches. They are the baseline for the whole team鈥檚 success. We, as a team made a big name for ourselves, and I know that will continue in the following season."
