ALICIA WRENCH-DOODY IS THE 10th YGTS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR.
Little did we realise that when Alicia was preparing for a tilt at the Women's Bay Sheffield it would be the springboard to an extraordinary season that just seemed to get better as the weeks went by. Alicia kicked off the season with a couple of second places in races at Hallett Cove and Flinders. She started the shortest priced favourite in Women's Bay Sheffield history and duly saluted winning by over 3m in an emphatic performance. Four days later and Alicia entered the history books as the first winner of the Women's Bay Sheffield/Burnie Gift double. She joined Dean Capobianco and Craig Brown as the only athletes to ever win the double in the same season.
.
With her major pro running commitments out of the way, Alicia was back in the amateur arena and quickly made her mark winning a golden double over 100m & 200m in the SA state champs before winning a silver medal behind Sally McLellan in the 100m at the Queensland State titles. At the national titles Alicia confirmed herself as the number 3 sprinter in Australia with a bronze medal (100m) and silver medal (200m). Alicia was a member a of the Australian women's 4 x 100m relay team that ran a season's best 43.95s in Osaka Japan in May.
.
Alicia received two ASA awards - the female track athlete & sprinter of the year. Alicia's PB's of 11.66s and 23.62 broke the club records that had stood for over 25 years. Her 200m time is the third fastest in SA athletic history.
Alicia becomes the first female and 10th overall YGTS athlete of the year.
