| VU AFL women's team prepare to take to the field for the Gold. Wednesday and Thursday and the Vultures land more medals at the athletics, Judo and position themselves for excellent results in Friday’s finals day. |
On Thursday, national representative Ivo
Dos Santos claimed gold in his Judo division and winning Champion of
Champions and Green and Gold selection for outstanding performance at the
games.
In athletics a number of competitors
progressed into finals on the track with Rachel Rowe winning silver in long
jump and Daniel Pagnaoccolo bronze in triple jump and silver in long jump, while swimmer Tom
Houston qualified for finals in his breastroke events.
In the team competitions held over five
days there has been some great contests and strong performances from VU. Finals
are being held today with our defending national champion Australian Rules
Women's team facing RMIT for gold and Basketball Men also
defending their national title against Bond University for the gold medal.
Netball Women were narrowly defeated by the University of Queensland by 2 goals
in the semi and will play Macquarie University for Bronze while the Netball
Mixed team also go up against Macquarie for bronze [stop press Friday: both teams win
to take Bronze]. Some very close encounters across competitions meant that some
VU teams were very unlucky not to go through to medal games including a
game hinging on a penalty stroke play off for the Hockey Women who
hadn't conceded a goal in the preliminary games, they now face UNSW for 5th/6h
placing. Also a week of excellent performance for the VU Ultimate Frisbee team
who were unlucky with injuries hampering their chances for a medal finish at
the end of the week.
