“I am very proud of these young sportsmen, men and women, this achievement has been solemnly gained through hard work in training, consistency, team work, and most importantly by God’s grace. 

We did the vetting and selected teams to represent the University in September, after which we put up a very tight preparation and training schedule including weekend road runs" said Luta.

Our strategy of picking a few teams to represent the University in specific sports unlike our competitors that went all out to field teams in all sports worked out in our favor.

As a University we are determined to ensure our students are trained, facilitated and exposed in matters of talent.

Our national teams’ champions came from, netball ladies, woodball men and women, athletics men and women, Tennis men and women, scrabble women, badminton men and women, karate men and women, rugby men, volleyball men, taekwondo men and women other teamsthat represented the University were soccer ladies, basketball men and women, table tennis and darts.
