Langley’s Sue Kim and Abbotsford's Nick Taylor received a big honour last Thursday.
Kim and Taylor, two of BC’s best on the golf course, were among 102 athletes in British Columbia to receive the prestigious 2009 Premier's Athletic Awards from premier Gordon Campbell in Vancouver.
The 102 athletes represented 56 different sports.
"Every one of these athletes is a strong example of what can be accomplished through dedication, hard work and a commitment to excellence," said Campbell. "They are an inspiration to all of us, and we are proud to have them represent our communities and our province."
Among her many accomplishments in 2008, Kim was the first amateur player to win not one but two back-to-back CN Women’s Tour events.
Taylor, the 2007 Canadian Amateur champion had a stellar year, playing to a top 3 finish in 6 events and claiming the number one position on the British Columbia Order of Merit and the Canadian National Order of Merit. Taylor also earned a spot in the U.S. Open.
The Premier's Athletic Awards honour the top male and female athletes in the province in each of the sports involved in the 2007/08 B.C. Athlete Assistance Program.
Nominees are nominated by their provincial organization or post-secondary institution.
