Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Lara Hausegger
The VAFA congratulates Lara Hausegger on being nominated the Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star this week. Lara produced a best on ground performance, along with a goal in Yarra Old Grammarians 18-point win over Collegians last weekend.
What the club said:
Lara is a natural footballer, coming through the Yarra Bushranger junior feeder program. At only 16 years old, Lara has already achieved much in her short football journey, winning multiple club and league Best and Fairest awards and playing representative football for the Oakleigh Chargers and Vic Metro programs.
It did take Lara a couple of weeks to feel comfortable at the senior level. However, her form over the past month has been sensational. Playing as a mid-forward, Lara wins clearances and consistently hits the scoreboard from anywhere inside the 50. Lara loves playing footy and is driven to improve her game.
Everyone at the Yarra Old Grammarians is ecstatic about Lara winning this nomination. We love watching her develop into a star and know her future at Yarra and beyond is bright.
