INTERNATIONAL DAY OF UNIVERSITY SPORT 🎓🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️

Today we celebrate the incredible athletes who balance the demands of university study and high-performance sport.

At SUBC, our athletes are not only training and racing at the highest level — they’re studying, building careers, representing their university and developing the skills that will stay with them long beyond their time in the boat.

From early mornings on the water to lectures, assignments, exams and racing around Australia and the world, being a student-athlete takes discipline, resilience, commitment and determination.

We’re incredibly proud of all our SUBC student-athletes, past and present, and the way they represent both their university and the blue and gold. 💙💛

Happy International Day of University Sport! 🌏🎓
