World champion high jumper Hamish Kerr has leapt clear of his fellow Halberg finalists, winning the Supreme Award. 

He soared above sportswoman victor Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, the Black Ferns sevens team winners, and dominant para-athlete Danielle Aitchison. 

Dame Valerie Adams and Richie McCaw have been inducted into the sports hall of fame. 

Hamish Kerr's mentor James Sandilands took out the coach category. 

Kerr told Mike Hosking it’s a great honour to be put on a trophy with a bunch of absolute Kiwi sporting legends.
