Vultures In Full Flight








It was a great first day of competition here at AUG 2010 with some excellent results for VU! Highlight being the Taekwondo team and the bag of medals they collected… rumour has it that the team will pay excess baggage to get the haul home... in total 7 GOLD! and 1 BRONZE!. Fantastic effort and the other Uni’s and competitors were in awe of the skill and strength of our VU team.

Another big day of competition on day 2...check out the program further down... we'll be bringing you score updates as soon as we can throughout the day direct to www.facebook.com/vusport

If you missed Professor Greg Baxter's email today about our progress at the games... here's a reprint...
