Super Stars
Super Stars
Super stars is a series of events ranging from up-hill sprints to social drinking races, testing skill and fitness while creating an opportunity for clubs to complete against one another to find an overall sports person.
Already competition exists between the Volleyball, Soccer and Squash clubs, but with a possible favourite coming from the Fencing club. If anyone or any club is interested, enter at the Students Union office during Sports Week.
Prizes of sports equipment will be made to the clubs represented, with T-shirts to the individuals in both the mens and womens sections. Events start from the VUW Rugby club rooms, Boyd Wilson field, at 2 pm with a wet or fine programme arranged.
Refreshments will be available during and after the events from the Rugby club rooms.
