2019 Athlete of the Year Finalists

Nominations for the NZMA Athlete of the Year awards closed last week. Since then the awards panel have been deliberating over the long list and we can now announce the finalists per category.

The winners will be announced and awards presented at the NZMA Awards Dinner, to be held during the 2020 NZMA championships.

The NZMA Awards Dinner is being held at the Ellwood Function Centre, 15 Otene Road, Hastings. ​ Tickets are $55 on 29 February. Arrive after 6pm for a 7pm start.
