The Chris Lane Encouragement Award is named in honour of Chris Lane and her service to our club for many years.  Chris was a dedicated and passionate committee member of our club for several years, who sadly lost her battle with breast cancer.

Two perpetual trophies are presented to a Junior Boy or Girl (U6 to U11), and a Senior Boy or Girl (U12 and up). The award is chosen at the discretion of the committee, and their decision will be based upon the athletes who they observe to be regularly demonstrating the values Chris Lane hoped would always remain at the core of our club. Friendship, commitment, sportsmanship, leadership, encouragement, and an unwavering passion for grassroots athletics. The winners must meet the attendance criteria
