AUK Participates in Beirut Unisports Festival

The American University of Kuwait (AUK) participated in its second Beirut Unisports Festival hosted by The Université Saint-Joseph from March 15-19. A total of 32 student-athletes represented AUK while competing against 26 different universities from 10 different countries in several different sports.

The 4-day tournament gave AUK student-athletes the opportunity to play against a more diverse group of competitors. They showed an overwhelming amount of AUK and Kuwaiti pride at each game, as the gymnasium was filled with energy from student's cheering, drumming, and singing in support of all the AUK teams that participated. AUK was awarded the Best Team Spirit at the end of the tournament.

AUK student-athletes will now shift their focus towards the second half of the University Championship Cup (UCC) beginning in April 2012. AUK will participate in soccer, volleyball, tennis, squash, and swimming. They will play against the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK) and the Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) to see who will be crowned UCC Champion.
