Honour Board - Athlete of the Year  

2017/2018 - Donovan Roets, Coco & Tia. The Senior Athlete of the Year award went to Donovan Roets after an outstanding first year with Block. Donovan has been an extremely popular parent at Block for the past 2 years, but turned spectating into training for the past 12 months. Donovan became a WA 4x100m relay state record holder and multiple state medallist, competing at the 2018 State and National Masters Championships. Donovan's achievements were more than deserved and a true result of his can do attitude! The Junior Athlete of the Year award was won by Coco, who demonstrated an outstanding commitment to training every session, every week and always had a smile on her face. Coco's positive attitude to training saw her join the Block senior group, where she continued to work hard amongst the older athletes while continuing to focus on her own technique and sessions. The inaugural Block Coaches award was won by Tia, for her resilience, team work, great attitude and determination throughout the season. A real trooper, well done!

2016/2017 - Tony Johnson,  returning to the track after 20 years since running at high school, Tony set his sights on competing at the 2016 World Masters Championships in his home town Perth, WA. Tony completed a strict program, training 4 times a week which resulted in him achieving his goal and representing Australia in the 'blue ribbon' 100m event. Tony went on to compete in his first professional race in December 2016, which coincidentally was run at his original little athletics oval, Charles Riley Reserve, making the final and narrowly missing out on a top 3 finish and prize money!

2015/2016 - Noah Franolich, 'up and coming' soccer player, who dedicated a strong year of sprint training, to improve his pace and stamina for the 2016 soccer season. Noah's desire to train hard (rain, hail or shine) saw him improve his 100m time by 1.03 seconds and assume a new position as striker of his soccer team! 

2014/2015 - Ella Morison, awarded Block Athletics inaugural  'Athlete of the year' trophy. Ella demonstrated excellent commitment to training throughout the year and was successful in making the trip across to 'Aussies' on the Gold Coast, ending a fantastic first year with Block!
