The great sports results from 2011 could fill a couple of papers. Limiting a whole year of great accomplishments to an even dozen (listed in Wednesday's edition) was difficult, so here is our followup with a score of terrific achievements from the athletes of our communities:

. It's been a long drought, but the

Terry Fox senior girls basketball team ended it in March when they topped Kitsilano 65-59 in a wildcard contest for the final berth to the senior girls AAA provincials. Fox erased an 8-0 deficit with huge efforts from Amy Nadasdi and Jodie Vance and Grade 10 standout Katie Devaney.

. It was a lengthy road to recovery,

but Coquitlam's Brittany Rogers made up for lost time with some outstanding results in 2011. In November she earned a silver in vault at the Osikek Challenger Cup. She advanced to the finals in all four events, including fourth place on uneven bars. A month later, the 18-year-old was selected among the top 11 female gymnasts to advance to Canada's Olympic Selection camp, which begins in January.

. Coquitlam's Kevin Reynolds

carted off fourth in senior men's competition at the BMO Canadian Figure Skating championships in January.

Placing seventh was Coquitlam Skating Club's Ronald Lam, while Brianna Delmaestro debuted in novice women's, taking 10 th spot.

. Coquitlam co-hosted the 2011

Special Olympics B.C. Winter Sport championships, which attracted hundreds of athletes. For Coquitlam's Patricia Duff, figure skating is more than just a lot of fun.

"Whether she wins or loses it's all great fun, although winning is all the better," Patricia's mom Helen said.

. Changes at the top kept things

interesting for the Coquitlam Adanacs in 2011. The Western Lacrosse Association club began the year by scooping up long-time boxla coach Bob Salt, who had earlier been fired by the New Westminster Salmonbellies after seven seasons, a handful of WLA titles and three unsuccessful trips to the Mann Cup final.

While Salt was unable to skipper the Adanacs into the playoffs in an extremely competitive season - finishing last but just two points shy of third place - it was general manager Les Wingrove who paid the price in October, when the venerable lacrosse boss was relieved of his duties in a management coup. He was replaced by assistant coach Randy Delmonico.
