PETALING JAYA: Diver Bryan Nickson Lomas is set to be the runaway winner of the Best Sportsboy award but it will be an open race in the girls' category of the 2004 national schools (MSSM)-Milo awards, which will be presented in Seremban today.
Besides dominating the MSSM competition last year, the 15-year-old Sarawakian also became the first Malaysian world junior champion in diving.
He also did Malaysia proud, coming within a whisker of qualifying for the 18-man semi-finals of the Athens Olympics 10m platform competition.
Two other nominees for the boys' award are doubles shuttler Tan Boon Heong of Selangor and shot putter Adi Alimuddin Hussin of Terengganu
The 18-year-old Boon Heong partnered Hoon Thien How to emerge as the world junior doubles champion in Vancouver last year.
The 17-year-old Adi, who has been the MSSM champion since 2002, was a gold medallist at the Asean Schools Championships in Singapore.
There are also three nominees for the girls' award – squash player Low Wee Wern, golfer Chua Tze Jean and rhythmic gymnast Wan Siti Haniza Wan Izhar.
Penangite Wee Wern did well last year to finish as the runner-up in the Scottish Open junior competition.
Selangor's Tze Jean was the Asean schools champion. She was also the winner in the SportExcel National Junior Circuit Grand Finals and the Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC) ladies amateur championship.
Kuala Lumpur's Siti Haniza swept all six gold medals at stake in the MSSM meet last year.
Besides the main awards for boys and girls, the winners of other awards – most promising boy and girl, special education, special award and best teacher – will also be named today.
