Congratulations to Henri and Miles Levenspiel who have been announced as finalists in the Victorian Sports Awards as AFL SportsReady Young Team of the Year! This award recognises a Victorian junior team who has achieved outstanding results with respect to their performances at a national, international level during the 2024 calendar year.
At just 15 years of age, twins Henri and Miles put together an outstanding year in the 29er class and found success often against older, more experienced sailors. Their achievements included first place at Sail Melbourne, the Zhik Victorian Youth Championships, Sail Sandy and Schnapper Point Regatta while also finishing second at the Victorian State Championships. Nationally, Henri and Miles placed first in the Junior Division and sixth overall at the Australian Championships which earned them selection to the Australian Sailing Youth Squad for the 2025 World Championships. Proving to be true ambassadors for the sport, Henri and Miles also give back by mentoring younger sailors.
Winners will be announced when the VSAs are held in the Members Dining Room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Wednesday 14 May, 2025.
Best of luck to the boys!
