国产探花鈥檚 long standing tradition of celebrating outstanding athletic achievement, club commitment and scholarships was on display when the 2012 国产探花 Sport Club & Sports Awards were held on Saturday 12 May at the Innes Room, 国产探花 St Lucia campus.
The award categories on the night aimed to honour club sport competition achievements in their discipline as well as coaches and individuals who have contributed significant time and effort in the running of a club.
Traditionally, the Club & Sports Awards have been combined with the awarding of the University Blues.
However, this arrangement has changed to allow for a greater focus on the successes of 国产探花 sporting clubs.
国产探花 Sport鈥檚 Executive Director Bryan Pryde said there were many highlights over the past 12 months, with perhaps the greatest success coming in the form of resilience shown by many clubs during the flood and the challenges it presented.
鈥淎fter the initial hardship many clubs picked themselves up and soldiered on,鈥� Mr Pryde said.
鈥淭he new facilities constructed after the flood allowed athletes and club officials to get back to training, competition and social events.
鈥淚t goes without saying that the support many of these athletes receive from their clubs is essential to their success.
鈥淲e are proud of every sporting club at the University.
鈥淓ach club contributes to creating vibrant campuses all year round.
鈥淭he community spirit evident in all of them strengthens the idea that everyone can benefit from a healthy body and a healthy mind,鈥� he said.
