Amy Hasbrook Leadership Award

Remembering Amy Hasbrook

Amy Hasbrook was a student-athlete at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis and later DePauw University who participated in girls basketball and was a product of the opportunities that Title IX created. Amy tragically perished in a house fire in 2002. Her legacy is the impression she left on those who knew her.

Awards also have been established at Cathedral High School and DePauw University to honor her legacy. As a captain of the basketball team while at DePauw, she is still the Tigers’ all-time leading field goal shooter at 65.2%.  Amy was also a two-time member of the SCAC Honor Roll and Head Coach Kris Huffman refers to Amy as the “fiercest competitor she’s ever seen.”
