Selected for Summer Universiade

St Hubert's Island athlete Kevin Moore has been selected in the Australian athletics team to compete in the 26th Summer Universiade World University Games to be held in Shenzhen, China from August 11 to 23 this year.

Moore was a member of the Australian men's 400 metre relay team that won gold at last year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi and is currently recognised as one of our country's best emerging young talents.

The 26th Summer Universiade will provide another valuable international experience for Moore, who will compete in the men's 400 metre individual and relay events.

Another Central Coast Academy of Sport athletics athlete of the year Ian Rayson has also been selected in the Australian team and will compete in the 20 kilometre walk.

The Summer Universiade is held every two years under the banner of the International University Sports Federation and athletics, both track and field, has been a fixture of the competition schedule since the event began in Turin, Italy in 1959.
