ASNZ Spirit of Synchro Award - The Spirit of Synchro Award is a trophy, donated in honour of Sue Edwards – who, herself was the Spirit of Synchro in New Zealand until she passed away in 2018. This Award recognises an individual who embodies the values and passion that Sue had for the sport of synchro – someone that goes above and beyond, to further the sport at a club or national level. It could be an administrator, an athlete, a coach or a judge. See the nomination form in the download box for more information.
