GCU students impress at Glasgow Taxis Cup

Victory in the Cross Country – and the mascot race - capped a series of impressive performances by Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) students at the Glasgow Taxis Cup.

 

The twelfth year of Scotland’s largest inter-varsity tournament saw the “blue and white army” compete against their Glasgow and Strathclyde counterparts.

 

Around 200 GCU students were in action in 17 sports, hosted in venues across the City, including the Emirates Arena and Scotstoun Stadium.

 

Stepps provided the venue for the cross country exhibition event, at which GCU students claimed all three podium positions in the women’s race and first and third in the men’s race to take the overall team title.

 

There were also second-placed finishes for the GCU women’s rugby and men’s volleyball teams, whilst in the mascot race, Caley Bear edged out his challengers…a tiger and a dinosaur.

 

Former Scotland international footballer and GCU honorary graduate Pat Nevin cheered on his alma mater throughout the day and congratulated the team captains at the presentation ceremony.

 

The Glasgow Taxis Cup caps a highly successful sporting season for GCU students, which will be celebrated at the GCU Students’ Association 20th annual sports awards ball on April 9.

 

Neil Alexander, Vice President SEBE, GCU Students’ Association, said: “GCU students always enjoy taking part in Scotland’s biggest one day student sports event and this year was no exception. I’m really proud of all our teams who competed at the Glasgow Taxis Cup. We may not have won, but our team spirit remains high as we approach our 20th Annual Sports Awards Ball.”
