In cross-country running, she was the Grade A girls' second runner-up in 2010-11. She won this season's Kwai Tsing Inter-school Cross-Country Competition.

She also clinched a silver medal in the Grade A girls' 400m run in the 2010/11 Kwai Tsing Inter-school Athletics Championships.

Soundbite: 'I used to compete in the 100m sprint when I was in primary school. In secondary school, a teacher suggested I also compete in 1,500m since I am a basketball player and this can help with my fitness,' Lily says.

'In some inter-school competitions, the 100m heats were followed by the 1,500m final, and the 100m final was right after the 1,500m race. This was physically challenging for me, but I could handle it.

'But I don't compete in 100m anymore. I run in the 400m instead. I still face the same tight schedule during races. This forces me to be on top form, which also helps me on the court.

'Since last year, I have been training with the First Division On Ching club. It took me time to get to their level, but I've made good progress.

'The club has registered me as a player for their First Division team this season.'

From her coach: 'I have rarely seen a girl who loves basketball so much,' says the school's physical education teacher Tsang Tsui-ting.

'Lily is really special. Her passion for the sport inspires her teammates. She is always helpful and willing to give advice to our junior players.'

Ambitions: 'Each week I spend two days training with On Ching, two days with the interport championships team, and one day with the school team. I have a tight training schedule, but I hope I can fit in smoothly with my On Ching teammates soon,' Lily says. 'When I'm older I want to become a referee and a coach.'
