University sport champions for 2007

19 March 2008

TeamMONASH™ won eight gold, seven silver and four bronze medals over 41 events in last year's Australian University Sport championships.

Monash has taken out the 2007 Australian University Sport championships.

The award combines the results from all national university events from the Australian University Games and all Australian University Championships.

In a year that saw close competition between the 43 universities, Monash with a total of 808 points won over the University of Sydney (783 points) and University of Melbourne (719 points) for the title.

Monash's strong participation in the Championships and second placing in the Australian University Games saw them over the line.

The medal tally over 41 sports was eight gold, seven silver and four bronze medals.

To extend Monash's year of excellence in sport, TeamMONASH™ also took out the John Campbell Trophy for overall South Region Champion.

Sports Programs Project Officer Nicole Schmidt said this year Monash was not only competing but was a Principal Partner University for the 2008 Australian University Games.

"With the games in Melbourne this year, TeamMONASH™ is certainly hoping to show its sporting prowess once again and bring home the flag," Ms Schmidt said.
