Alister Henskens and Imogen Connell

Mr ALISTER HENSKENS (Wahroonga) (16:47): I recently awarded Imogen Connell a State Representative Award for her achievements at the 2025 Australian Junior Athletics Championships. Imogen competed in April in the under-13s discus and under-14s pole vault. She is not only skilled at discus and pole vault but also performs well at hammer throw, hurdles and shot-put. Imogen goes to St Leo's Catholic College, where she enjoys PDHPE and tech classes. Imogen undoubtedly takes after her mother, Karen, who also received a State Representative Award from a former member for Ku-ring-gai many years ago. Imogen is an impressive young woman who dedicates six days a week to training and even has the time to play soccer on the weekends. I have no doubt that Imogen will go far. I congratulate her and her parents, Karen and Dylan, on their dedication to Little Athletics, and I look forward to hopefully seeing her compete at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
