After two days of competition, Southern Cross University (SCU) was crowned overall champions of 2022 Nationals Surfing championships. SCU were also crowned Overall Women\u2019s Champions and The University of Queensland won the men\u2019s title. This is the 9th time SCU have been crowned overall champions.<\/p>\n

Almost 50 student athletes from across Australia participated in the championships. The event was held on the Sunshine Coast and was proudly supported by event partners, Sunshine Coast Council and Surfing Queensland Inc.<\/p>\n

UniSport Australia General Manager \u2013 National Sport Program, Natalie Broom, was pleased to see students travel across the country to compete at the glorious Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the field was smaller than anticipated, there was a high standard of competition in the surf and a positive experience for all involved. We hope we can continue to build this event now things are returning to normal after two challenging years,\u201d said Broom.<\/p>\n

Australian Catholic University won the Team\u2019s Challenge event to finish off a successful championship for all involved.<\/p>\n

Surfing Queensland Event Manager, Elliot Dempster highlighted what a great event it has been. \u201cThe event has been great to see all of the University surfers having fun and supporting each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conditions have been small and somewhat challenging for the competitors but nevertheless, everyone seems to be having a great time and enjoying the waves and beautiful weather Coolum has on offer,\u201d said Dempster.<\/p>\n

UniSport would also like to acknowledge the individual student-athletes who took out their respective titles. Congratulations goes to:<\/p>\n
