6 SUBC Athletes Honoured at Blues Awards

Sydney University Boat Club is proud to celebrate six of its athletes who were recognised at the 2026 Sydney University Blues Dinner on Friday evening, receiving one of the highest honours in university sport.

A Sydney University Blue is the highest sporting recognition awarded to University of Sydney student-athletes who have demonstrated outstanding competitive excellence at state, national or international level.

The award recognises the dedication, commitment and performances required to compete at the highest levels of their sport.

Congratulations to our six newest Blues recipients:

• Sam Basha

• Jack Cullen

• Alyssa Fikkers

• Max Garnett

• Alice Macready

• Sophia Tayeb (not pictured)

  
  

Each athlete has made a significant contribution to Sydney University rowing, representing the University with distinction through their performances, commitment and dedication to the sport.

This recognition is a wonderful reflection of the standard of athletes within SUBC and the hard work of the coaches, teammates and wider club community who support their development.

We are incredibly proud to see six of our athletes recognised among the University's sporting achievers.

Congratulations, Sam, Jack, Alyssa, Max, Alice and Sophia. A well-deserved honour!
