Jindabyne’s Scott Kneller and Aimee Watson who call Jindabyne home in have been nominated for major prizes at the prestigious 2009 New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS) Awards dinner.

Scott has been nominated for his business achievements in the Sportspeople.com.au Career development section. Scott’s nomination reads

“Scott Kneller recently began his own online import business, Yeti Sport, which imports and distributes ‘Fabel’ and ‘Kari Traa’ winter sport apparel. He balances his business aspirations with studying a double degree in Commerce and Civil engineering. At the 2009 Australian / New Zealand Cup at Mt Hotham, Kneller showed why he is considered Australia’s best ski cross athlete and one of the danger men for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, dominating the Ski Cross winning gold on both days of the event.”

Aimee’s nomination is in the University of Sydney Academic Excellence section. Aimee’s wachievements include:

Completing a Bachelor of Veterinary Science Degree. Her results included five distinctions and three credits, an outstanding result considering the time she spends chasing snowfall across the globe. Watson finished second in the 10km Classic and third in the 1km Freestyle Sprint events at the Australian / New Zealand Championships as well as finishing 28th in the 10km Freestyle event at the World U23 Championships.”

Both athletes will hear of whether they have been successful at the award presentation next week in Sydney.
