pinnacle award finalists announced - AWS
PINNACLE AWARD FINALISTS ANNOUNCED Congratulations to the finalists for our three Pinnacle Awards – Sportswoman of the Year, Junior Sportswoman of the Year and Team of the Year. Shortlisting the finalists was a difficult process with so many outstanding candidates. I know the selection panels will face a challenging time deciding the winners. On the night, we will recognise our National and State Representatives as well as those girls who have participated in 5 or more sports in 2017. There will be a Rising Star and Senior Player of the Year Award presented for each of our 15 sports. We are also excited to be welcome 2016 Rio Olympic Gold Medalist Kim Brennan as our Guest Speaker.
