Julie Rogers (born 2 November 1998) was one of the youngest participants in the 2012 Summer Paralympics representing Great Britain in the sitting volleyball team.[1][2][3]

When Rogers participated in the 2012 Summer Paralympics she was still a student at Bedford Modern School[4] and some 26 years junior to her fellow team member, Martine Wright. Since her participation in the 2012 Summer Paralympics, Rogers has changed her attention to athletics where she has become one of the fastest female Paralympic sprinters in the UK. In 2014, Rogers' fastest time as a sprinter was 5th in the world rankings for that year.[5]
