Awards

In recognition of the athletes' achievements during the season Dorset provides a number of awards.

Personal Bests (PB's)

Throughout the season each 'personal best' will be recorded.  Once an athlete accumulates 10, 20 or 30 PB's they will receive a bronze, silver or gold medal respectively.

President's Award

This trophy is awarded to an athlete chosen by the President and committee for showing great sportsmanship, persistence, participation and many other qualities apart from just sporting ability.

Wayne Smith Award

Wayne died in 2001 following a lifelong battle with Cystic Fibrosis.  Both of his sons were active members of Dorset for seven years.  Wayne was a fervent supporter of his children in their athletic endeavours.  This award is given to a boy who displays the qualities that Wayne became known for: courage, persistence and positive attitude with a great zest for life.  This trophy is awarded in honour of his memory and attitude towards life.

Jessica McLeod Award

This is also a commemorative trophy awarded to a girl who most emulates Jessica's qualities of participating with enjoyment, enthusiasm and sportsmanship.  Jessica was tragically killed in 2003 and was a much loved member of the Dorset community for three years.
