Foster first Sports Star finalist
Teenage athlete Georgia Foster is the first finalistannounced in this year's Wimmera Sports Star of the Year Awards.
"Georgia is a standout performer in athletics," Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly CEO Tony Caccaviello said.
"With a year already marked by determination, discipline and excellence, Georgia has represented Horsham Little Athletics Club and the Wimmera with distinction, earning her place among the region’s top athletes.
"She made history at the Australian Little Athletics Championships in Adelaide by becoming her club's first national champion, securing gold in the under 15 girls' 200m sprint and under 15 girls' 4x100m relay, silver in the Swedish relay and bronze in the under 15 girls' 100m sprint, before further cementing her legacy at the North Island Games in New Zealand where she won three gold medals in the under 15 girls' 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay events."
Caccaviello said the announcement marked the beginning of the naming of the 2025 award's finalists, which would continue throughout the year as the assembly shone a light on the region's "incredible sporting talent".
"From junior standouts to seasoned veterans, our awards celebrate not only performance but the heart and spirit of community sport," Caccaviello said.
"The grand celebration will take place in February 2026 when we honour finalists across 16 categories, culminating in the announcement of the Sports Star of the Year."
Nominations are now being sought for athletes, coaches, teams, volunteers and community initiatives that deserve recognition.
