George Freeman Trophy
Named in honour of George Freeman, who died 18 Apr 2006 aged 73 years.
George first joined St George in the 1950 as a 17 year old and ran second to Dave Power in the 1952 State Novice 5 Mile Cross Country Championship at Scarborough Park. George was a regular competitor during the summer track and field seasons and always enjoyed cross country running in his early days of athletics.
George used to say that one of his favourite moments in athletics was carrying the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Torch. George assisted setting up cross country courses at Scarborough Park for various championships held there, and is missed by his many friends who always enjoyed his company.
