'Mimi' is another post player who has improved tremendously. She made the varsity team as a freshman for a Winnacunnet team went undefeated en route to their 5th straight D-I title. Still, McLeod's minutes last year were very limited. But then over the off-season she worked hard on her game, training with the New England Warriors and Coach Joe Tardif. Now McLeod (pictured above) is in the starting lineup and playing a vital role for one of the state's top teams. She's attacking the rim, rebounding and had 32 points vs. Timberlane.

"Mimi has continued to progress as a young post player" said Winnacunnet head coach Ed Beattie. "She runs the floor well and will become a major force down the stretch for us. I would guess she has a strong future in Division I and beyond."
