CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

THE BRONZE BABY

The Bronze Baby is awarded annually to the CIS Women's Basketball Champions. The trophy dates back to 1922 when it was donated by the Students' Council of McGill University. Until 1970, the Women's Interuniversity Athletic Union (WIAU) in Quebec and Ontario awarded the Bronze Baby to their conference championship basketball team. In 1971, the WIAU was dissolved as a conference and the trophy was retired and returned to the donor, McGill University. McGill students then offered "her" to the Canadian Women's Interuniversity Athletic Union in June 1972.

The figure is a replica of a statue that was in the grounds of Dunfermline College of Physical Education in Scotland and is a copy of a trophy competed for by the High Schools of Dundee. The winners of the trophy from 1923 until 1971 are recorded on the old base at McGill University.

TRACY MACLEOD AWARD

As a member of the Brandon Bobcats, Tracy MacLeod broke her lower leg during a game in 1993. Five months after her 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. In honour of her determination, perseverence and unwaivering spirit to continue playing the game she loved, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association is pleased to honor Tracy by dedicating this award in her name.
