Welcome to Leeds University Union Athletics Club.
Whether you are looking at this page considering coming to Leeds University, or already here as a First, Second, or Third year, I urge you to read further or contact us for more information!
Over recent years, Leeds University Union Athletics Club has grown from a small handful of Athletes to a group of over 50, either training to compete for their University, or keep fit, or even for the social aspect of our club. This year the team had a number of achievements, including:-
-
Overall team 2nd at the Steel Cup,
-
Sam Cordin came 7th in the 200m at the Outdoor BUCS Championships at the Bedford International Stadium (National University Championships) in 2011,
-
Clare Coley came 7th in the 10k at the Outdoor BUCS Championships at Bedford International Stadium in 2010,
-
Women's 4x400m Relay team came 8th at the Outdoor BUCS Championshops in 2010.
All culminating on being LUU-ACs best two year's to date!
We as a team are passionate about improving on this in years to come, to prove that Leeds University Union Athletics Club (and our joint club - Cross Country) should not be underestimated! The friendships and team spirit we have create a strong base for motivating all our Athletes to fulfil their potential, which we encourage everyone to do. With 7 sessions per week (Track sessions, Circuit Training, Hill Training, Plyometrics and Weights), we hope you can achieve this.
And to kick back and relax from all this hard training, the Team know how to have a good time! With an array of contacts within the City of Leeds social scene, we have a number of different options to offer you, with some additional perks of belonging to a sports team ;).
So, if you are undecided by which University to go to, which Societies and Clubs to join in Fresher's Week, or are thinking about taking Athletics back up after having not done it for a while, send us an email or come to the Fresher's Fair (Date TBC) and we can answer your questions.
