Sports Awards 2022

An evening to celebrate the achievements and successes of our Imperial Athletes

Imperial Athletes Sports Awards was held on Thursday 16 June 2022 to celebrate athletes from across our clubs for their outstanding dedication, sporting excellence, and commitment.

Our athletes recorded the College’s best ever results in the national BUCS tournament, and we are now the home of 20 BUCS League Champion teams.

In a fitting finale to such a successful season, we were able to celebrate our athletes in-person once again at Sports Awards 2022. Our winners and noteworthy contributors are outlined below.
