This award is presented to Marlon Devonish for the credit that he brought to the city during the year 2002.
His success as a sprinter on the athletic tracks at both the Commonwealth Games in Manchester and the European Championships was fantastic. At the former he won the Silver Medal in the Men's 200 Metres and was a member of the team which took Gold in the 4 x 100 Metres Relay.
