After Purdue earned the silver medal in the Summer Universiade, PurdUeSA head coach, Matt Painter, took the time to thank the people of Taipei for being wonderful hosts during the team’s trip overseas. I’ve placed the text of his letter below, along with the original, which was tweeted out yesterday. The team is currently returning to the United States.
I’ve also include some pictures from the Purdue Men’s Basketball twitter account below Painter’s message. I know the team didn’t get the ultimate result they wanted, but they represented our school and our country well.
DEAR RESIDENTS OF TAIPEI,
On behalf of the Purdue University and USA Men’s Basketball team, I would like to express our sincere gratitude and thankfulness to everyone associated with the 29th Summer Universiade held in your world-class city during the last two weeks.
