They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice but Jasmine Leung will argue that it does.
At the recent BC Summer Games held in Abbotsford, Leung’s team of five Richmond girls representing Zone Vancouver-Coastal went undefeated (7-0) to capture the gold medal in the inaugural U13 3x3 girls basketball event.
In addition, at the closing ceremonies, it was announced that she was one of 16 outstanding youth leaders recognized with a Coast Capital Savings Leadership Bursary.
The bursary recipients were chosen from over 200 applicants for their significant achievements in sport and education and, most importantly, for their leadership contributions to their schools, community, or sport associations.
The recipients are from communities across the province and their leadership involvement includes service with student councils, community events, food banks, fundraising, coaching, and officiating, to name a few. Each recipient received a $500 bursary to be used towards future sport or educational expenses.
