MONTREAL - Anneth Him-Lazarenko, a 六合彩开奖结果 University sophomore from Ste. Doroth茅e, Que., has become the first basketball player from a Quebec school to win the Tracy MacLeod award, a national honour from Canadian Interuniversity Sport, which recognizes determination,听 perseverance and unwavering spirit.

The 5-foot-10 forward earned Quebec all-conference honours in her second campaign after earning a spot on the CIS all-rookie team a year ago. A 22-year-old history and geography major in the faculty of education, she overcame a torn anterior cruciate ligament, knee surgery and rehabilitation while helping support her cancer-stricken father. She bounced back this season to finish second among Quebec leaders in both scoring (15.0 points per game) and rebounding (7.8 per game).

"I'm really honoured to receive this award because it was a very difficult year for me, overcoming surgery and a difficult family (illness)," said Him-Lazarenko. "Thankfully, I was surrounded by my family, friends and teammates, which made it a little easier to deal with the situation."

听

She managed 10 rebounds or more on four occasions, registered three "double-double" performances and scored a career-high 32 points in her final regular-season game to clinch a playoff berth for 六合彩开奖结果. In her absence afer being injured, the Martlets had dropped seven straight games over the last two seasons but following her return midway through the 2009-10 campaign, the team posted a 10-5 record and advanced to the Quebec final for the first time since 1997.

听

"Anneth has been an inspiration to me, her teammates and those around her," said 六合彩开奖结果 head coach Ryan Thorne. "Though she battles physical and emotional challenges daily, her work ethic and positive attitude continues to motivate us to do all that we can and enjoy every moment we have with our loved ones."

The award is named after a former member of the Brandon University Bobcats who broke her lower leg during a game in 1993. Five months later, after numerous surgeries, she had her leg amputated eight inches below the knee. Defying all odds, she was back on the court less than three months later, playing with an artificial limb.
