Rowan Hamilton Wins Harry Jerome Scholarship

The Valley Royals Track & Field Club is extremely proud of thrower Rowan Hamilton, one of four recipients of the 2018 Harry Jerome Scholarship. Rowan excels in the throwing events, gives back to the track and field community through volunteer work, and he is an Honours student at Sardis Secondary School. We wish Rowan the best of luck as he attends UBC in the fall.
