For the 2010-2011 academic year, the Athletics Department recruited 20 student-athletes who are a part of the Freshman Class for Fall 2010. Some of these athletes have already distinguished themselves in their sporting disciplines by representing The Bahamas in high profile regionals. They include Ms. Tamara Myers, a 2009 CARFITA silver medalist in triple jump. The Department of Athletics looks forward to a highly competitive and exciting year on its intercollegiate calendar. On September 2, the Department of Athletics held a press conference to introduce the new student-athletes for 2010. Athletics Director Mrs. Kimberley Rolle introduced the new team members to the public and shared her excitement regarding the high caliber athletes and scholars joining The College's intercollegiate family. "This year, we're pleased to have 20 student-athletes join COB's Athletics teams this fall bringing our compliment of student-athletes up to 90 athletes. We are especially pleased to have our first set of Family Island student-athletes from the Preston Albury High School and North Andros High Schools. We are most proud that six of our student-athletes are academic scholars having excelled in the BGCSE examinations and attained academic scholarships from the Ministry of Education and Scotia Bank," says Mrs. Rolle. Ms. Tamara Myers is also optimistic about joining the line-up of athletes. "I believe I can attain all of my goals at home," said student-athlete and CARFITA Silver Medalist Ms. Myers. "I want to continue to represent The Bahamas and now The College of The Bahamas in the future at a high level. When The College of The Bahamas Athletics Department looks back on its history we want them to remember this class for the impact we made on our teams and the Athletics programme in general." The freshman student-athletes joining various intercollegiate teams at The College are: Men's Track & Field -- Juliano Francis & Lorenzo Rolle
