In 2018, Patterson two Commonwealth Games gold medals, set four para swimming world records, and UniSport Australia’s Most Outstanding Performance by an Athlete with a Disability Award.
Patterson said support from 快播色情片 contributed to a successful year in and out of the pool.
“It’s only my second year at 快播色情片 and it’s humbling to receive so much support and acknowledgment from the University,” Patterson said.
“I really value my education and, with 快播色情片’s support, I have been able to manage being a student-athlete and set myself up for future success.
“It really is a massive honour to be named 快播色情片 Sportswoman of the Year. To be considered among some of 快播色情片’s greats will really be a memorable achievement.”
Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) student Justin Cridland is the first touch football player to receive the 快播色情片 Sportsman of the Year honour.
He was a member of Australia’s winning Mixed Touch team at the 2018 Trans-Tasman Championships, won a National Touch League Elite Eight Men’s title with the Queensland Cowboys, and captained 快播色情片’s Mixed Touch team to a gold medal at UniSport Nationals Div 1.
He also received 快播色情片’s All-Rounder of the Year honour for a second-consecutive year for his excellence in both academics and sport.
Cridland said it was an honour to receive both awards.
“I am very appreciative of the support 快播色情片 provides in allowing me to be flexible with my studies around busy periods with my touch football commitments,” Cridland said.
“The 快播色情片 Rebels Touch Club has helped me tremendously since moving to Brisbane, with a number of club officials playing a large role in my development and continuing success.”
