Meet the KCL Athletics Team

KCL is crushing UCL’s hearts and dreams


Do you want to see some quality summer bods at Varsity this year? Come on down to Allianz Park at 16:00 on Friday to see what these Flash-esque KCL students have achieved over the past few months, restlessly training in their track through the dark winter hours at Canada Water!

This is the first time the Athletics team will be competing in Varsity, which means KCL athletes are more determined than ever to run the “Godless Scums’” arses back down to Gower Street. They will not disappoint in showing UCL what the KCL cardiovascular spirit is really made of – and here’s a chance for you to meet these crazy fit and amazing individuals!
