#TurksandCaicos, May 15, 2023 – As Women in Sports (WIS) continue to celebrate 10 years of existence in the Turks and Caicos Islands they continue to empower and motivate young girls in Sports through the program “ATHLETE OF THE QUARTER.”

Ms. DIERIANNA WILLIAMS was the first female to be named MVP in Rugby. It all took place at the Inter High School Rugby Championships earlier this year when she played a significant role in bringing her school…H.J. STALLIONS to victory. She was also named MVP of the Championships.

She received a plaque and special T-Shirt in her honor sponsored by First Lady, Mrs. Delthia Russell-Misick who has been sponsoring the gifts to all the Athletes.

Mr. Austin Dickenson the coach from inception played a major role in the celebration and spoke to the Athletes on their journey from some 11 years ago.  He presented DIERIANNA with gifts on behalf of the Rugby Association.

The Women in Sports showered DIERIANNA with gifts, words of encouragement and a small social in her honour that was attended by her family members,  her fellow Rugby Athletes and Members of the Anglican Church Youth group who assisted in celebrating this special moment.

The WIS invites other young women to join this Sports group as they worked towards Gender Equality in Sports Administration and participation.
