Two Olympians, a Diamond and a Kangaroo of yesteryear are included in the next set of inductees for the Queensland Sport Hall of Fame announced by QSport.
The State's peak body for sport coordinates the Hall of Fame and overall Queensland Sport Awards program of recognition of Queensland's top sporting achievers past and present.
The six inductees were named by Hall of Fame Secretary Peter Cummiskey, the QSport CEO at a QSport Sponsors and Members Function at Allan Border Field yesterday afternoon.
The six new Hall of Famers are:
- Jamie Dwyer (Hockey)
- Laura Geitz (Netball)
- Audrey McLaughlin (Softball)
- Sally Pearson (Athletics)
- The late Harry Sunderland (Rugby League)
- Johnathan Thurston (Rugby League)
The six inductees will be inducted at the Queensland Sport Awards & Hall of Fame Presentation on 24 November at which the next Legend of Queensland Sport selected from the existing Athlete Hall of Fame members will be installed.
The identity of the next Legend will be revealed later this month while the contenders for The Courier-Mail Channel Seven Queensland Sport Star of the Year Award will be named closer to the event on 24 November at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
