MONTREAL – Anneth Him-Lazarenko of Ste. Dorothée, Que., and Eli Sheiner of Nepean, Ont., are the McGill University athletes of the week for the period ending Feb. 1.

Him-Lazarenko, a 5-foot-10 freshman forward with the Martlets basketball team, had 42 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, one blocked shot and a pair of steals as McGill swept a key two-game series with UQAM last week. The 21-year-old education major shot a stellar 60 per cent from the field (15/25), plus 60 per cent from three-point range (3/5) and 81.8 from the foul-line (9/11). Him-Lazarenko, who leads the QUBL scoring race with a 14.8 points-per-game average and is the top-scoring rookie in the nation, is a product of Vanier College.

Sheiner, a 5-foot-8, 150-pound freshman on the men’s alpine ski team, won gold and bronze medals in his two slaloms races at Centre de ski Le Relais near Lac Beauport over the weekend. The 18-year-old arts major finished first of 44 entries in Saturday’s competition and was third on Sunday. Sheiner enrolled at McGill last fall out of École secondaire publique Louis-Riel.
