Jamaica’s 2000 Olympic swimmer Angela Chuck was this week honoured with the Florence Filippo and Arlene Gorton awards by Brown University for her performances in and out of the pool during the 2001-2002 NCAA Division 1 swimming season.

At the Universities Swimming Banquet, Chuck was awarded the Florence Filippo for contributing the most to the success of Brown’s women’s swim team. Chuck consistently won points for the school by dominating the 50, 100 and 200 yard freestyle events and was one of two swimmers from the school who qualified for the highly competitive NCAA Swimming Championships. The team members and coaches vote to determine the winner of this highly prestigious award.

Later at the All Sports Banquet copped the Arlene Gorton award that is presented to the female varsity athlete who most consistently displays the ideals of sportsmanship and fair play. The award is named of honour of former Brown Associate Director of Athletics Arlene Gorton in recognition of her role in developing women's intercollegiate athletics at Brown University.

Chuck, who graduates from Brown University this year, will be returning to Jamaica next month to complete her preparations for the Commonwealth Games in July.
