Sports scientists honour fallen colleague
Tuesday, 29 December 2009
 Master's student Benoit Capostagno is the first winner of the Andrew James Cathcart Sports Science Prize, established by the Medical Research Council/UCT Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine (ESSM) in honour of the University of Glasgow scholar who died in a cycling accident in Cape Town in 2009. Cathcart was working on a research project at ESSM at the time. The award is made up of a R15 000 travel purse to attend the annual conference of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Science. Befitting Cathcart's own interests – he was an avid mountain biker – the prize will be awarded to a sporty master's or PhD researcher who is keen to translate research into sporting practice.
