Maroochydore
A team of triathletes, Maroochydore's high standard of performance often went unnoticed due to their captain's distracting hair gel creations. Maroochydore was incredibly unlucky in not making the 1986 Round 2 Semi-Final; going into the final round they needed only a third position pass through. With 10 state points and a heat in hand, only Jindalee with 11 points stood in their path. It came down to their final event, 'Mountain Climbing', on which captain Walsh courageously banked his Joker. Going into that event, Maroochydore had 4 points, Vic. 11, N.S.W. 14 and S.A. 10. They needed the eight points to draw ahead of Victoria and/or South Australia. As keen IAK observers would realise though, South Australia never loses at Mountain Climbing and maintained their record. Maroochydore finished second and gained four (Joker doubled) points for their troubles and thus missed out on a Semi-Final berth.

Captain: Bill Lansbury (Not to be confused with the lesser-known
television personality Angela)
Vice-Captain: Andrew Ryder, who plays basketball (not netball as Fiona MacDonald suggested(!))
Other team members: Tracy Irvine, Cathy Weatherall -- probably the most useless
individual competitor in the history of IAK, especially against
Andrew Sloan (SA) in "Pillowfight"
Childers

Childers was one of the all-time-winningest IAK teams, spearheaded by
John Harbourne. Childers won its first three meets convincingly but
then finished last at their final meet.
Captain: John Harbourne (painter)
Vice-Captain: Steve Loder
Other team members: Sandra Counters, Max "Hanky" Henkie (emerg.), Pam Harbourne, Susan Dilger
Springwood

Springwood was a relatively young team, with all team members in
their mid-20's. Despite their youth Springwood often had problems
with the "scoreboard not working". Springwood's 15 minutes of fame
was in "Pop the Cork" when the team won the maximum possible eight
points. Unfortunately Springwood failed to score for the remainder of
that competition.

Although Daisy Hill did win a $25,000 Grand Final of IAK, they
were by no means the best team to have graced the screens of the

St. Lucia
Pic Pic Pic Pic
A group of Arts and Science students from UQ, St. Lucia faced up against Sydney City, a group of P.E. students from Sydney Uni, and performed quite respectably. Led by the able Caroline Zollinger, the team performed admirably in 'Save the Fire Chief', an obstacle course and vertical wall event.
