Presented by the State Government of Victoria and Vicsport on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 at Marvel Stadium, the Victorian Sport Awards honours individual and team athletes, coaches, administrators and volunteers from both metropolitan and regional Victoria.
Each year the Victorian Sport Awards receives hundreds of nominations from state sporting associations, regional sport assemblies, local government authorities, teammates, club members, coaches or their local community in recognition of their outstanding contribution to sport and active recreation.
This year, Shepparton has two local finalists in the mix. The Tennis Victoria Country Week has been nominated for the Community Sporting Event of the Year, and local cyclist, Brad Norton has been nominated for Masters Athlete of the Year.
Brad came home from the World Masters Championship for Cycling competition earlier in the year with four medals, three gold medals for the 1000m time trials, 3000m individual pursuit and 4000m teams pursuit as well as a bronze medal for the three lap team sprint.
We’d like to congratulate Brad and those involved in the Tennis Victoria Country Week and wish them luck at the Awards night.
