At the end of August, an elite team of 49 skiers and snowboarders from Macquarie University travelled down to Thredbo to compete at the Australian University Championship Snow Games.
This year the Macquarie University Ski and Board Club – MACALPINE - blitzed the competition, and all competitors should be congratulated on their outstanding efforts and results. With an incredible 10-medal haul, the MACALPINE team dominated their opposition. The club was awarded Overall Female team, Overall Nordic team, Overall Individual Male Snowboarder, and second Overall Male team to give the club the prestigious honour of being crowned the #1 University in Australia.
This is the first time since the early 1990's that a team other than Sydney or Melbourne Uni has taken out the Snow Games Championships. The last time that the MACALPINE team won this event was in 1985 – a year that was (for all but one of our team) well and truly before we were even born! So this is a HUGE result for the team and for the MACALPINE Club!
MACALPINE is looking forward to defending their title at Snow Games 2010 in Mt Buller.
