Amalee Freestone received an Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Local Sporting Champion award from Sarah Henderson at a presentation recently.
This was for being selected for, and competing with, the Victorian State Aerobics team at the Nationals last year, while also competing at Nationals in the Aerosport Nationals gymnastics team, where she won medals at state level with Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club.
Amalee was recognised for her school sporting achievements as a past Sports Woman of the Year at Christian College Geelong and her ongoing commitment to all aspects of her sports both in and out of school.
In addition she does ongoing voluntary work patrolling for Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving and has also helped out with Surfing for the Disabled.
She is currently training for the FISAF Sports Aerobics Victorian Championships on May 20 with her Aerosport fitness team to hopefully qualify for National Championships to be held in Queensland in July and plays football for the Ocean Grove U15 girls’ team.
