Rolland collected her third award of the season in women's outdoor track. Montrel earned his fourth men's tennis honor and second in a row, and Flowers received her first women's tennis award.
Rolland, a sophomore from Harvey, La., and a graduate of Cabrini High School in New Orleans, repeated as champion in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and the long jump in the GCAC Championships on Saturday. She met NAIA A-qualifying standards in the 100, 200, 400 relay and the long jump and broke her meet record in the long jump. Her 34 points helped the Gold Nuggets win the team championship for the second time in three years. Tramaine Shannon, Chartia Hurt and SiMon Franklin were Rolland's teammates on the 400 relay.
