Emerging Athlete of the Year

The CGA Emerging Athlete of the Year Award celebrates the next generation of Australian sport stars and those that may make an impact for Australia at major sport events in the future. Over the course of the year, an athlete will be recognised each month as the Emerging Athlete of the Month.
