One of the three gold medals won by the team of Kazakhstan in Kazan belongs to the student of NKSU named after M. Kozybaeva Margarita Mukasheva, champion in the women's running for 800m. On the University games she set her own best record. Her photo graced the cover of the official newspaper of the competition.

Another participant of the Universiade is Catherine Ektova. In the discipline of the "triple jump" she went into the final top ten, but the fight for the medals was not possible. Because of her contestants were so strong and experienced, while she is only a year in an adult sport. In the junior competitions she was the champion of Kazakhstan many times, took 4th place at the World Cup.

Also the student of NKSU Vitaliy Gladkov represented smoothly our country in the competitions in fencing.
