Cougars Athletic Club’s Shaniqua Bascombe was meanwhile voted as the female Youth Athlete of the Year and Point Fortin New Jets’ Devin Augustine the boys’ Athlete of the Year.

Kaizen Panthers’ Safiya John (female) and Zenith’s Tyriq Horsford walked away with the Junior Sportsman and Sportswoman of the year honours.

The 25-year-old Point Fortin-born Richards won 200 metres gold at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia with a time of 20.12 at the Carrara Stadium.

Baptiste, meanwhile, was a finalist at the PanAm Games and part of the women’s 4×100 metres sprint team which finished sixth at the World Championships last year.

The Cougars Athletic Club also continued their run of success after being named the Champion Juvenile Club of 2019.

However, history was made in the Junior Club Championship when there was a tie between Cougars and Memphis Pioneers.

Memphis was adjudged the Champion Senior Club.
