Brittany Rogers, Sean Casey and Hodson Harding are all there. Who will be joining them in 2013?

The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame is accepting nominations for its 2013 Wall of Fame, which honours the achievements of athletes and teams in the community for the past calendar year. The categories for nominees covers the spectrum of athletics: high school, college/university, junior, senior, master, disabled, team and coach.

Members of the community are invited to submit nominations for this year's presentation, which will be held at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St.) in June.

Athletes must be Coquitlam residents for the calendar year of 2012, while a coach must be nominated for instructing a Coquitlam-based team during 2012.

Past recipients have gone on to accomplish great things over the past 12 months.

Rogers, recognized last year for her determination and achievements that included international success, proudly represented Canada at the 2012 London Olympics.

A speed skater, Casey competed at the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in South Korea, and last year drew accolades for winning twin golds at the national level.

Harding captured the 400metre dash title at the 2011 Harry Jerome Indoor track meet and is finishing his first year at Rice University in Houston, Texas on an athletic scholarship.

If you know someone deserving of a Wall of Fame award, whose accomplishments represented the best of Coquitlam during 2012, you are invited to nominate them at www.coquitlamshof.com.

There you'll find nomination forms and rules.

The deadline to nominate someone for the 2013 ceremony is April 8.
