This is not an award tied into the NBL or bmx racing. She was nominated by other people in her community and was up against people from all over the state of Georgia. These include people from baseball, soccer, football, and many other venues. This is a wonderful way for her to show the rest of the state what we do and what a great sport we have. CONGRATULATIONS SHAYNE!!!!
