Four College Athletes to Represent Oxford

Four St Cross students will represent the University this coming weekend.

The College is pleased to announce the selection of Alex Post, Mungo Mason and Euan Friend for the Oxford 2022 Rugby Varsity Squad, and Julia Lindsay who - for the second year running - will row against Cambridge in The Boat Race. 

"St Cross students are really showing their sporting prowess as well as their academic ability at the moment," said the College's Master, Carole Souter.

The Boat Race is regularly attended by over 250,000 spectators at the banks of the river and watched by millions more on television. 2022 will see the 167th Men's Boat Race and the 76th Women's Boat Race. This is the first time back in London after two years.

Spectator information can be found on the Boat Race website: https://www.theboatrace.org. The women's teams will compete on Sunday, 3 April along the Thames in London, and the event is free to watch.

The College would like to congratulate these players on their selection to represent Oxford University at both of these historic events.
