Seventeen-year-old Jessica Upton-Greer has excelled on both statewide and national stages in athletics, touch football and netball, with the latter taking up a majority of her time in 2019.
Little athletics became the early scene for the rising star, representing Tasmania on numerous occasions throughout her childhood all while sharing the state duties with touch football.
Set to travel to the Sunshine Coast in September to feature in Tasmania's side for the national youth touch football championships, Jess is also setting the netball court alight this season as a member of the Cavaliers' under-19 development side playing around the state.
Hailing from the Gee-Tees, the Junior Sportsperson nominee has both coached and refereed, using her experience to give back.
