Zakiyah
Randall--Prince George County,
MD - Zakiya Randall,(L), fondly known by fans
as "Z," was awarded with Proclamation
of Excellence in her native Prince George's County,
Maryland premier community-sponsored golf event
on September 15, 2007.
Mr. Jack Johnson, (R), County Executive
of Prince George's County, Maryland was on hand
to present the award. Randall, 16, began golfing
at the age of ten and in six short years |
has grown to dominate her golf demographic, winning
more than 45 local and national tournaments.
Randall, by sharing her talent and dedication to excellence
with other young people just like her, hopes to encourage
her peers to excel in both academics and sports through
hard work, commitment and community support.
The "Z Tournament" Golf Event was an amazing
feat and a remarkable piece by Zakiya Randall -- a
young person who is not blessed with extensive resources
and is being raised in a Single Parent home, commented
Melody Spruill Director of the "Z Tournament"
Golf Event.
Randall, poised to become a dominant player on the
LPGA tour, has been featured in EBONY, GolfWeek, Sports
Illustrated and African-American Golfers Digest.
BlackAthlete Sports Network called her "Golf's
Next Phenom," and this year she was a finalist
as one of the most influential and talented youth
in the city of Atlanta and youngest nominee finalist
for "Amateur of the Year" by Atlanta Sports
Awards.
Randall invites major corporations, foundations, business
owners, professional athletes, celebrities, sports
organizations, community groups and individuals to
show their continuous support to talented youth and
demonstrate the importance of giving back. This continuous
support will ensure that talented youths' dreams turn
into reality, and cost does not become a hindrance
to achieving greatness.
