Following the success of the Kent’s Sporting Legends event in 2012, Kent Sport is hosting another gala evening in December to celebrate sporting achievements.

The University’s 50th anniversary is the perfect time to reflect on the last 50 years of sport at Kent, and to inspire future sporting successes. This year, Kent’s Sporting Legends will include sports scholarship recipients (many of whom have gone on to international honours), Kent sports persons who have represented our country or been part of Team GB, and individuals who have contributed to Kent’s sport achievements over our 50 year history.

Sport is a crucial part of the University experience and, as part of this event, we are reviewing our archives so that we can share some amazing sporting moments (images and stories). Many of our alumni have gone on to win International honours, and excel in their field. We have numerous current existing students and staff who have also excelled.

Sport at Kent will continue to grow and we want you to be part of the story: We want to hear more of your stories, images and memories that will fascinate and inspire others. If you are a current or past student or staff member who has represented your country or Team GB, if you have broken any records or have any other iconic sporting achievements, and/or if you have memorabilia, images, video or anecdotes about sport at Kent, please get in touch by emailing sportsenquiries@kent.ac.uk.
