SWIMMER Tegan Warrener has been the most prolific winner of Daily News/Warwick Credit Union Junior Sports Star of the Year awards in the past 20 years.

Warrener is one of many past monthly winners who will be at the 20th anniversary dinner at Kings at the Warwick RSL on March 9.

Nationally-renowned poet Marco Gloiri will be the guest presenter.

The swimmer who shone for a decade in school and club swimming won medals galore at local, regional, state and national level.

She won four annual sports star awards, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2009, and was selected in a national freestyle relay squad in the run-up to the London Olympics.

Warrener was part of a golden era of Warwick swimming with Max Ackermann and Chris Dunne also winning national medals.

Ackermann won a Doc Bodimeade Memorial Encouragement Award and last year, was third in the open 50m backstroke at the Olympic trials. Unfortunately there is no 50m backstroke at the Olympics but it is part of the program at Commonwealth Games and World Championships.

Warrener is now focusing on her university studies and doing a little swimming, which often includes the McNamara Sprints in Warwick.

Current Queensland Firebirds netball captain Laura Geitz won the junior award in 2005 and Texas karate/athletics star Haelie Donaldson won in 2006.

Shot put star Jessica O'Brien won two encouragement awards in the 2003-2007 years and Australian school rodeo star Lucas Wilson one.

Like so many sports stars, O'Brien has changed her focus to netball and Wilson is following a sporting dream in the United States.

Three senior winners came from horse power sports, saddle bronc rider Scott Keogh who starred in America, showjumper Robert Goodwin who was in the long list for the 2004 Olympics and 2007 Australian World Cup winning polocrosse coach Ross Shepherd.

Goodwin's brother David, another showjumper, is one of the 2012 monthly winners who will be honoured at the March 9 dinner which doubles as the senior sports star awards night for last year.

Clay target shooter Jennine Gerrard won the major award in 2005 and trialled the next year for the Australian team for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

Warwick sporting shooters star Mal Smith, of The Falls, won overall in 2006 after outstanding success in the United States.

For the past two days, the Daily News has printed the lists of 1993-1997 and 1998-2002 winners and will print the 2008-2012 winners in a future edition.

The Daily News has been promoting the 20th anniversary sports star dinner since Christmas and seeking feedback with emails and addresses of past monthly winners.

While the majority have been contacted, we would still like emails on monthly winners we haven't been able to contact, many of whom have moved from Warwick.

Please email gerardw@warwickdailynews.com.au or call Gerard Walsh on 4660 1313.
