Conestoga’s Janie Preston is Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week (March 4-10)

The junior forward has been a key factor in the Pioneers’ success this winter (22-3 and finishing third in the PIAA District 1 6A tournament), with her strong rebounding (averaging 7 rpg), solid scoring, tough defense (averaging 2 spg) and dependable free throw shooting (more than 70 percent converted). Off the court at Conestoga, Preston also plays lacrosse for the Pioneers as a midfielder/attack, and is a member of the National Honors Society. Conestoga girls basketball head coach AJ Thompson said, “Janie comes to practice every day looking to improve individually and works with her teammates to give us the best possible chance to be successful. She is extremely coachable and will come early to practice or stay late to get extra work in. Janie is the definition of a great teammate and the type of player every coach would love to have.”
