Another scholarship for Rouge-Serret

Emerging Victorian sprinter Aaron Rouge-Serret has had his Sport Australia Hall of Fame scholarship renewed at the organisation’s annual dinner overnight.

The 19 year-old represented Australia as a member of the 4 x 100m relay team at this year’s World Championships in Osaka after flourishing in a European tour under coach Neville Sillitoe.

Inaugurated last year, Rouge-Serret received a scholarship alongside discus thrower Dani Samuels - the 2006 World Junior champion.

With a theme of inspiration, Sport Australia Hall of Fame scholarship holders receive:

- Mentoring support from a Hall of Fame member for 12 months
- A grant of $5000 presented at The Sport Australia Hall of Fame annual dinner and induction ceremony in Melbourne each year
- Participation in development and leadership workshops
- An invitation to SAHOF events in their State
- A recognition certificate

The Don Award, contested by world champions Jana Rawlinson and Nathan Deakes, was presented to Australian cricket greats Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath.
