Members of the Snow Australia community were recognized at last night’s 2023 Victorian Sport Awards.
OWIA Moguls Coach Peter McNeil, Snowboarder Scotty James, and Mogul Skier Jakara Anthony were all awarded top honors for their achievements last year.
Scotty James took home the Frank Wilkes Award, which recognizes a Victorian individual athlete who has achieved outstanding results at a national or international level in the male category during 2023. His season included a win at the Secret Garden World Cup in China, a top 10 performance at Copper Mountain, his third Laax Open victory, and a record sixth X-Games SuperPipe gold in Aspen.
Jakara Anthony’s remarkable 2022-23 season, which saw her achieve nine World Cup medals and earn her third Crystal Globe trophy, was recognized with the Kitty McEwan Award. This award honors a Victorian individual athlete who has achieved outstanding results at a national or international level in the female category during 2023.
Peter McNeil was awarded the Leasexpress Coach of the Year, recognizing Victorian coaches who have achieved outstanding coaching performances with Victorian athletes or teams during 2023. McNeil’s mentoring of Matt Graham and Jakara Anthony led to a combined 13 World Cup medals in 2023, including a double-gold medal performance at the FIS World Cup in Deer Valley.
