Yoo certainly the best for his last high school season. As a senior, Yoo dominated the competition all season, winning seven individual titles and losing just three matches. He ended up placing third at the CIF State Tournament. Not bad, for a kid who just started the sport as a freshman. He ended up with three state appearances.
