This 5’4” point guard helped her team earn the silver medal at the Milk “AAAA” Provincial Championships.  Earlier in the year she was named tournament all-star at the Pembina Trails and Sisler tournaments.  She was also selected a Winnipeg #1 Tier One Championship All-Star.  During the season she averaged 10.1 points, 4.5 steals and 3.8 rebounds while handing out 6.8 assists per game.  Coach Michael Tan states, “Zeralyn's leadership and work ethic has been instrumental to our team's success. She has been a key contributor to this year's team and a great example of how hard work can lead to success. She has worked tirelessly at her defensive skill set and has probably been one of the best defender's to come out of the Sisler program. Her hard work and leadership has set the tone for the younger kids on our team and have rubbed off on them as well”.

This grade 12 student maintains an 85% average, while also participating in volleyball and track & field.
