Bond University has taken out the Patrons Population Cup at the Northern University Games for a record fourth time in the 13-year history of the award.
The win has confirmed Bond’s place as the best sporting university, based on campus size, within the northern region of Australia.
Over 240 Bond students represented the university at the games, which were held on the Sunshine Coast earlier this month.
Proving size doesn’t matter, the Bond team also placed fifth overall out of the 13 competing universities, with powerhouse QUT taking out the Championship for their third straight year.
The achievements didn’t stop there with the AFL team being awarded a Gold Medal as the undefeated champions of the competition.
Silver medals were also awarded to the men’s and women’s badminton teams, men’s golf team and ten pin bowling team, with the mixed netball team taking out bronze.
The men’s squash, rugby union, baseball and mixed lawn bowls teams also competed strongly, making their way to semi-finals.
Several teams will now have the opportunity to travel to Adelaide to compete in the Australian University Games next semester.
