The Big Blue encapsulates the sporting rivalry between Victoria’s two largest Universities: Monash and Melbourne.
Rivals on and off the sporting field, the matches are played at Monash’s Clayton Campus or Melbourne’s Parkville Campus during Semester and offer a chance for students to represent their University in a local and competitive setting, at no cost.
A winner is declared at the conclusion of Semester 2 when the head-to-head results are tallied up.
On April 24-26, 17 of our student athletes represented Monash University at UniSport Australia’s Athletics Nationals, which took place on the Gold Coast. Overall, Monash placed 8th and 9th respectively in the men’s and women’s, out of 33 different universities.
The first of the Big Blue Varsity Challenge Multi Sport events kicked off at Monash’s Clayton on Monday 15 April with teams from Monash University and the University of Melbourne battling for the win.
