Since Rockhampton has been a springboard for national, world and Olympic champions in the past, the Club has been awarded funding from the Australian Sports Commission's National Talent Identification and Development Program to search for the next generation of talent.
The process is being coordinated by CQU Human Movement Science (HMSC) Masters researcher Morwenna Kirwan, with help from HMSc undergraduate students.
Details are available from Morwenna via m.kirwan@cqu.edu.au or 4930 6421.
