The annual Massey University Albany Blues Awards Dinner was held on Monday night to recognise the sporting achievements of our students. Held in the Sir Neil Waters Lecture Theatre Building, the venue was transformed into a blue and gold masterpiece with the guest speaker Alison Fitch, former Olympic Swimmer and Massey University Sportswoman of the year spoke about her experiences in swimming and the Olympics, and we were all treated to a dinner fit for kings. BNZ sponsored the Awards and we continue to appreciate their on-going support.
The Palmerston North Awards ceremony was held last night.
Sportsman and Sportswoman of the year were announced and awards were presented to 24 students who are competing at a national or international level in their sports.
