2005 Hall of Fame inductees named
2 December, 2005
The Sunshine Coast Sports Hall of Fame inducted two new members on Thursday 1 December.
Maleny born Otto Nothling was recognised posthumously for his contribution to cricket and rugby, with his son Martin accepting the award on his father's behalf.
Otto Nothling was a dual international for Australia in cricket and rugby - one of only two men to have achieved that remarkable feat.
Mr Nothling made his first class cricket debut with NSW in 1992/23 and played one Test match for Australia against England in 1928.
He played cricket for Queensland in 1928/29 and later became the Queensland Cricket Association President.
Kristy Munroe was recognised for her contribution to surf lifesaving on the Sunshine Coast. At just 23 years of age, Ms Munroe has dominated the sport of surf lifesaving.
By the time she'd come of age she'd won our national ironwoman title and the world championship. In fact just 12 months after she'd won the Australian under 19 ironwoman championship she defeated a star studded field to win the coveted open title.
As the 2004 world ironwoman champion, Ms Munroe is also a multiple world and national champion in board and ski disciplines. She is a long time member of the Alexandra Headland Surf Club.
Jamie Moore received a Certificate of Merit for his achievements in the sport of International Taekwon-Do, which have extended beyond regional and state level, to the national and international arena.
As Queensland Coach from 1995 to 2004, Mr Moore enjoyed tremendous success, with his teams bringing home a total of 117 gold, 106 silver and 81 bronze medals.
Internationally, Mr Moore's success as a coach continued at the World Championships in Italy where Australia won its first ever gold medal in International Taekwon-Do, followed by further success at the 13th World Championships in Greece, and the Junior World Championships in Malaysia in 2004.
Previous inductees to the Sunshine Coast Sports Hall of Fame include; Mal Meninga, Clint Robinson, Brendan Burkett, Grant Kenny, Ian Baker Finch, Darren Obah, Kerri Thomas, Glynis Nunn-Cearns and Lisa Curry-Kenny.
