Monash student nominated for top AIS award
Tuesday 27 October
Amy Steel’s future is looking bright with a nomination for an Australian Institute of Sport Award to be announced on 12 November.
Amy was nominated for the ‘Junior Athlete of the Year’ award for her exceptional performance in her debut call up to the Australian Diamonds netball team and competed in the Holden Test Series against New Zealand and a World International Team.
Amy also impressed selectors as a member of the Under 21 Australian team which claimed the world youth championship in the Cook Islands.
"Amy has a heap of talent and is a real thinker," Australian coach Norma Plummer said. "She certainly analyses if she is getting beaten and keeps adjusting."
The Minister for Sport, Kate Ellis, announced the finalists for the coveted Australian Institute of Sport Awards last week.
“The AIS is all about achieving excellence and each of this year’s finalists exemplified this with their performances in the past year,” Ms Ellis said.
Amy continues to excel in both the sporting arena while maintaining her strong study commitment towards a commerce degree at Monash University. We wish her luck for 12 November.
