2019 Interschools Ambassadors supporting junior athletes

Inaugural Interschools Ambassadors made their first appearance for the season at Sunday’s Interschools Participation and Development Series held at Perisher.  

Four out of the five appointed Ambassadors were able to lend a guiding hand and offer words of support to 45 junior racers.

The four in attendance were Jack Adams (Alpine), Theo Coates (Alpine), Antonia Murphy (Alpine/Ski Cross) and Saskia Fawcett (Moguls) with the fifth ambassador, Zoe Spanos (Alpine), returning to Sydney for University commitments.

Ambassadors were carefully selected for the role and needed to meet a criteria which required them to be current FIS competitors, former Interschools competitors and undertaking tertiary studies

All of the Ambassadors are Interschools National Champions and a quick whip around the group confirmed that between them they had raced in more than 550 events across many disciplines including alpine, ski cross, moguls and cross country resulting in a number of medals across regionals, state and national championships for individual and team results.

As well as attending Interschools presentations, the Ambassadors will share tips and advice about racing and training as well as stories of their individual journeys through the snowsport athlete pathway.

More information about each athlete can be found on the Interschools website and athletes are welcome to send the Ambassadors questions via email.
