Waikato University wins Tertiary Challenge
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Waikato University scooped up the 2008 title of the Domino’s Pizza Northern Tertiary Challenge (NTC) held on Friday 8 August at Waitakere Stadium, Auckland. Unitec, from Auckland, followed in second place overall and third place was shared equally by AUT University, Auckland University and Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec).
Nine institutes competed at the NTC this year, including Te Wananga O Aotearoa who travelled from Rotorua to attend the event. In total there were over 40 teams from across the Northern region participating in this social sports competition.
Netball, Football and Touch Rugby were all won by Waikato University, with Unitec winning Basketball, AUT University Volleyball and Auckland University collecting the points in the Ultimate Frisbee competition.
Domino’s Pizza and ZM’s Mr Whippy Truck ensured that students didn’t go hungry throughout the day, and helped them to actively support and encourage their team mates during some very close finals.
University Sport New Zealand would like to thank Domino’s Pizza, ZM and Waitakere Stadium for supporting this event and also all the Tertiary students and Team Managers who attended the Northern Tertiary Challenge.
