University of Melbourne Blues Recipients - Basketball

The table below shows the winners of Blues Awards presented by the sports department of the University of Melbourne for representation in basketball competitions. Blues are awarded to the top performers in student competitions on an annual basis (e.g. University Basketball League, University National Championships). Students can be awarded Full Blues or Half Blues.

In the first picture from 1985, Lindy Barrett was receiving her Full Blue from John Campbell (JC), who at the time was President of the Melbourne University Sports Union. In some sort of coincidence, JC also received a Full Blue that year, though it is not clear whether he presented it to himself. On the right hand side of the photo (seated) are (Cyclone) Tracy Nero and Kylie O'Brien, both members of the winning Australian University Championships team that year.

The second photo was taken at the Annual Blues Dinner, where Lindy was pictured with Cheryl McKinna (MU Director of Sport and Basketball Blue), Alf Lazer (Sports Union Hon. Treasurer) and Sir John Rossitor (Minsiter in the Victorian Government 1965-1976).
