The Combined Universities Athletics Club

About

The Combined Universities Athletics Club exists to allow students of the ACT's universities to participate in all forms of athletics (track & field, cross-country, road running). The club has a strong presence in ACT interclub competitions as well as other state and national events. Teams from each university organised through the club compete in the Australian University Games each year.

The club is the pre-eminent women's club in Canberra, having won the Open & u20 competitions for a number of years, while our u16 & u18 girls have filled 2^nd place on a regular basis generally with a third the number of registered athletes of other clubs. Our Open men have also been very successful over the last five years. The secret to our success has been the willingness of our athletes to try all events and not just specialise. Unlike many clubs who only have 'stars' who do only one or two events, all our athletes tend to get in and have a go, particularly on the female side.

The social side of the club is still developing, with social events planned for after competitions and dinners held throughout the year.
