Tracy MacLeod Award

The award is named in honour of Tracy MacLeod, and rewards determination, perseverance and unwaivering spirit. As a member of the Brandon University Bobcats, MacLeod broke her lower leg during a game in 1993. Five months after the accident, and 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. The selection is made by the U SPORTS Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
