Prescott, Rogers top Cougars Athletes

RECARDO PRESCOTT is the senior male Athlete of the Year of the Cougars Track and Field Club.

And Joanna Rogers was named senior female Athlete of the Year. The awards were handed out at the annual dinner and award ceremony of the club held at the Tranquillity Government School, Port of Spain, on Wednesday.

It was close call for the 17-year-old Prescott who got the nod ahead of five-time winner Ashton Gill and Jaden St Louis.

But it was Rogers all the way in the female category.

And Brian Morris got the award in the new category, the junior male Athlete of the Year, and Shaniqua Bascombe earned the female equivalent.

The 15-year-old Rogers, a Form Three student at the St Francois Girls College, apart from aiming to be an Olympic athlete, has her heart set on becoming a physiotherapist.

Prescott, who represented Trinidad and Tobago at this year's Carifta Games, is a student at St James Secondary School, and excels in the 400, 800 and 1,500 metres. Rogers is unbeaten in the 800 metres here to date, having won the women's 800 metres at the Falcon Invitational Games.
