The pair have been nominated for the Marg Angel junior sportsperson of the year award for their efforts in athletics from January 2020 to June 2021.
Richard Amon, CEO of Disability Sport & Recreation, said the awards recognised everyone's efforts through another COVID-19 interrupted year.
"After another extremely challenging year for many in our community, the focus for this year's awards is a celebration of the community sporting sector and the fun, inclusive and innovative activities that individuals and clubs undertook during lockdown to remain connected with their clubs and community," he said.
"As we emerge from lockdowns, let's come together and celebrate what has been achieved amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Importantly, lets look to a brighter future with more Victorians with disability finding greater positive outcomes and connection through involvement in sport and recreation."
The awards night will take place on Tuesday, November 23 at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Southbank's Riverside Quay.
The ceremony will be streamed live for those unable to attend.
