Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame
Four Tasmanian Champions inducted into Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame
Four Tasmanian champions were inducted into the Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame at a ceremony held in Launceston on 2 October 2009.
Amidst family, friends and representatives from their sport, each inductee was honoured with a special presentation of their career highlights, after which they impressed the audience with insights into their lives as athletes performing at the highest level of their sport.
Angela Deacon (judo) (represented by her father John Deacon), John McCormack (motor racing), Kylie Risk (athletics) and Alisa Denne (softball) were each presented with a leather-bound honour roll, a traditional hall of fame plinth and a hall of fame member pin by the Minister for Sport and Recreation Michelle O’Byrne and a young athlete from their respective sports.
