Celebrating the history
of sport on campus
STORY BY JAHAN EMERY
A
delaide University Sport (AUS) has
greatly evolved since it was established
in 1896 when the Boat Club (est.
1881), Lawn Tennis Club (est. 1885)
and Lacrosse Club (est.1889) came together to
form the Sports Association. Sport now has a far
greater presence at the University of Adelaide,
with almost 40 sporting clubs, intervarsity teams,
social sport programs and an on campus gym, to
help students build relationships, learn new skills,
stay active and healthy, compete in high level
competition and enjoy their time at university.
According to AUS President David Penn, AUS
plays an important role in university life for
many students.
