MONACO — Canadian hammer thrower Camryn Rogers finished 10th in the World Athletics women’s athlete of the year voting, the organization said Wednesday.

Rogers, 27, had the five best throws in the world this year, including a toss of 81.13 metres that broke her own North American record and stands second globally all-time.

World Athletics was scheduled to name the three finalists for the women’s award from the shortlist of 10 athletes later Wednesday. Athletes ranked No. 6 through No. 10 were announced via social media.

Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis, Brazilian 400-metre hurdler Alison Dos Santos and Kenyan marathoner Sebastian Sawe were named as men’s finalists on Tuesday.
