The achievements of the University of Dundee's most outstanding sports men and women will be recognised tomorrow when the University Principal presents them with certificates at the 2002 Blues and Colours ceremony.
The awards mark the success of students who have played for their national University team, or who have otherwise excelled in their particular sport, from badminton and basketball to rowing and rugby.
A special ceremony will be held in the Tower Building's River Room, where Principal Sir Alan Langlands will present certificates to the 50 students whose efforts have helped to create the university's fine reputation in the sports field. Amongst those being honoured are University Sportsman of the Year, boxer Chris McLung and Sportswoman of the Year, judo champion Louise Porter.
Sports Union president Stephen McLean said, "This is the first Blues and Colours ceremony to take place at the University for a number of years. We wanted to bring it back into being because the outstanding success of many of the University teams, as well individual sports men and women, should not go unrecognised."
