BRISBANE - MONDAY 26 MARCH 2001
Box Hill Women Win Silver Medal
The Box Hill women's team produced an inspired performance at the National Club Championships to finish in second place behind the strong, local Queensland University team. With a team of just 9 athletes (from a maximum allowable of 14), all members of the team were required to compete in at least two events. Despite trailing the Southern Suburbs team for most of the night, strong performances in the last two events enabled the team to draw level with a win in the medley relay to snatch second position on a countback.

The Box Hill men's team also put up a strong performance and after leading half way through the competition, slipped back to a close fifth position, missing a medal by just 9 points. Also competing with just 9 athletes, the men were actually closer to first place than the women (31 points behind compared to the women who were 42 points behind), however a lack of depth and tired athletes meant that the team slipped out of the medals in the last two events.
Final points scores were:
