After carving her place in Paralympic history, swimmer Jacqueline Freney has received the Prime Minister's top award for women in sport.
Freney, one of Australia's most successful Paralympians, was awarded the Prime Minister's women in sport award on Tuesday night at an Australian Women's Health ceremony in Sydney.
The 20-year-old Queenslander's gold medal haul numbered eight, one for every event she competed in London.
Two of the performances were under world record time.
Freney also created Paralympic history beating Siobhan Paton's record of six gold at the Sydney Games. Sports Minister Kate Lundy presented the award to Freney, on behalf of the Prime Minister.
Freney is the first recipient of the award since 1996 after the Gillard government reinstated the award earlier this year.
Last month Freney took out the 2012 Australian Paralympian of the Year Award.
