Bermuda’s Tiara Derosa has been named to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association [USTFCCCA] All-Region Team .
The school said “For the first time since the 2013-14 season, Shaw University outdoor track and field had two athletes named to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association [USTFCCCA] All-Region Team announced Tuesday, May 16.
“For the Lady Bears, senior Destinee Williams [Leesburg, FL] and freshman Tiara Derosa [Sandy's, Bermuda] were both named All-Region for their respective events. Williams received the award for the 100-meter hurdles after lowering her preliminary time with a 13.74. She currently ranks 12th in the nation in the event.
“Derosa earned recognition in the discus. She threw a season-best 44.78 earlier in the season and represented her Bermuda in the 2017 Carifta Games where she placed third overall.
