Team UQ places fourth at Uni Games

The University of Queensland has finished fourth overall, and Queensland’s top-ranked university, at the 2017 Australian Uni Games (AUG) on the Gold Coast.

Almost 400 UQ students combined to win more than 70 medals, with Team UQ claiming gold medal pennants in six sports (hockey, judo, sailing, tennis, touch, and ultimate).

UQ’s sailing team scored back-to-back AUG gold medals, winning all 29 of its races across the three-day regatta.

Team UQ’s mixed touch side defended its 2016 AUG gold medal, defeating Macquarie University 7-5 to finish the competition undefeated.

UQ’s men’s hockey and women’s ultimate teams also went through their respective competitions unbeaten to claim gold.

UQ’s women’s judo team finished the top university following a haul of six medals, while UQ’s men’s tennis squad defeated Macquarie University 3-2 in the gold medal final.

Team UQ ranked second across eight sports, including athletics, beach volleyball, cycling, fencing, and rowing.

In other results, Team UQ scored bronze medals for the first time in cheer and dance, men’s futsal and women’s table tennis.

A revised event format will replace Australian University Games next year.

‘The Nationals’ will launch in July 2018 with a seven-day National Division 2 competition, followed by a week-long National Division 1 event in September.

Both ‘Nationals’ events will be held on the Gold Coast from 2018-19.
