Students achieve record medal haul at University Games
July 27, 2006

Students from UNE won a record 11 medals at the Drinksmart Northern University Games on the Sunshine Coast last week. Team UNE returned to Armidale with its most successful medal haul ever: two gold, five silver and four bronze.
The UNE lawn bowls team, and the squash player Kathryn Sue, won gold medals. Silver went to the Rugby Union, men's and women's hockey, and men's and women's tennis teams, and bronze to the Rugby League 7s, men's and women's soccer, and men's touch teams. Team UNE also reclaimed the Clem Jones Shield after defeating the University of Queensland in six chosen sports.
Gold medallist Mark Crutcher from the UNE lawn bowls team described the games as "a well organised good time". "It was a privilege to represent the University, but even better to win the gold," Mark said. He credits the success of the team to the facilities and management of SportUNE. "We were really lucky to have a great team," he continued, "especially in our team manager, David Schmude. Without his organisation, our games would not have been as successful as they were."
Mark is now preparing for the Australian University Games to be held in Adelaide later this year. Of the 21 teams UNE sent to the Northern Games, 10 have qualified for the national games. These teams include the men's and women's hockey, soccer and tennis teams, the men's touch team, the women's squash team, and the lawn bowls team.
David Schmude (pictured here) was responsible for the 217 competitors from UNE who competed in 14 different sports. "All our individual teams performed well," he said, "especially our medal-winning teams. It was very pleasing to see Team UNE perform so well at these games. It is also a great achievement to have so many of these teams qualify for the national level."
