In the boys’ poll, it was a close vote between Feng Hua and basketballer Jabez Su of Catholic High for the last couple of weeks with the lead exchanging hands several times.

In the girls’ poll, Alexandria Wong overtook early leader Chew Hanyu of CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ and kept the lead all the way to the end.

2008 is coming to an end soon and all you athletes have sweated blood and tears to go faster, higher, stronger. In the course of the year, you have come across athletes who take your breath away.

Blessed with a physical genius the rest of us can only admire, when these athletes step onto the field of play, neutrals applaud, teammates cheer and opponents dread.

And not only are they talented athletes, they are genuinely great people to have around. They don’t make you feel stupid when you can’t play as well as them, and not only that, they encourage you, they lift your game. If you had a choice, they would be the brother or sister you never had.

So let’s nominate these student athletes and then let’s put it to a vote beginning of December 08.

Have fun. : )

Red Sports. Always Game.
