Bison women’s basketball co-coaches Michele Hynes and Randy Kusano, both in their second season at Manitoba, have announced the commitment of Christina Posthumus to the Bison program for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Posthumus, 18, finished her high school career at Kildonan East Collegiate. The 6’2” forward had an impressive final season (2012-13) with Kildonan East as she was a captain and averaged 30 points per game with 16 rebounds per game, 11 assists per game, five steals per game plus four blocks per game while playing 30 minutes per game. During the year, the East St. Paul, MB native also earned all-star honours at the Daniel McIntyre, Lord Selkirk and Transcona tournaments, while being selected as MVP at the Kildonan East Tournament plus named Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association (MHSAA) Athlete of the Week for the week of February 12, 2013. Posthumus established a new Kildonan East school record for most points in a single game with 53.
“We are excited to announce our first recruit from the class of 2013. Christina brings passion and dedication to both the basketball court and the classroom,” said Hynes. “After a very successful high school career we are eager to see her develop into a top post in the Canada West conference. Her size and versatile skill set will make her a valuable addition to our Bison roster.”
