When we hear the words 'SPORTS STAR OF THE YEAR' spoken, one usually thinks of someone who participates in those more popular sports like AFL, Netball etc.
Well, this week, our sport was recognised in the Shire of Exmouth when Riley Watkins was crowned their Sports Star of the Year for 2024.

This award celebrates an individual for their outstanding sporting achievements. It recognises the individual has competed at the highest available level in the region and age category. They also need to display outstanding sportsmanship in their chosen sport and have to contribute to the continued growth of the sport.

Riley, is our most widely travelled regional competitive member of Exmouth Kart Club. In the past 12 months, Riley and his support crew have travelled nearly 25,000km by road for him to compete at race meets around WA, and in the Northern Territory, where he will often compete in 10 races in a day.

Riley’s highest achievements in 2023/24 have included
Northern Zone Series 2023(State Events) - 1st place in the North West Light Class at all 4 rounds which provided him the Series Title. This is his 3rd year in a row being crowned Northern Zone Series Champion in his class.
1st Northwest Championship 2024 Rd1 at Karratha Kart Club
1st Northwest Kart Championship 2024 Rd2 at Impala Kart Club( Tom Price)
1st Northwest Championship 2024 Rd 3 at Exmouth Kart Club
2nd Territory Cup at Darwin Karting Association 2023
5th WA State Championships 2023 Final in KA3 Senior Light
and a Top 10 finish at all other Race meetings through out 2023-2024.

Riley, has had many, many highs and lows along the way in the 6 years he has been racing karts but he has always had respect for everyone and for those who want to help him succeed. In return, without him knowing it, he gives back by helping those around him try to become better Karters, young or old. Through all this, he has maintained his grades whilst completing yrs 11 and 12, and is able to juggle his casual employment too. It is a credit to him and we thoroughly believe he is a worthy recipient of the Sports Star of the Year Award.

Well done mate, you are a deserving winner.
