SALT LAKE CITY, Apr 26, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --USANA Health Sciences (NASDAQ: USNA) announced that Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Azzi has been named the new head women's basketball coach for the University of San Francisco. The announcement was made at a press conference at the school's War Memorial Gymnasium on April 23.

"I am excited and honored about the opportunity to lead the program at USF," Azzi said. "I have been asked to coach every year since I left the game. This is the first opportunity that feels right for me. USF has really strong values around educating the `whole person' -- an element that is critical to developing a successful team."

Azzi, a 2009 Women's Hall of Fame inductee, played for Stanford University's women's basketball team and is regarded by many as one of Stanford's greatest players. While there, she helped lead the team to a 1990 NCAA National Championship, was named NCAA Player of the Year and was selected as MVP for the 1989-90 women's Final Four. Azzi was the youngest person ever inducted into Stanford's Athletic Hall of Fame. She also played professionally as a point guard for the WNBA for five seasons and won a gold medal as part of the 1996 U.S. Olympic women's team.

"The entire USANA family congratulates Jennifer on this outstanding career achievement," said Dan Macuga, USANA Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations. "Jennifer has an extraordinary work ethic. She is a tremendous asset to USANA, and I am confident her knowledge and talent will greatly benefit USF."

Outside of her basketball accomplishments, Azzi shares her unique knowledge of health, fitness and leadership as a motivational speaker. She also actively works a successful USANA enterprise with her business partner, Richelle Lund. In addition, she serves as an Athletic Advisory Council member for USANA Health Sciences. USANA's Athletic Advisory Council is dedicated to educating athletes and the public about the health-enhancing properties of nutritional supplements.

Biathlon Canada testimonial

andrewmmwilmot@hotmail.com (Andrew & Lorraine) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:34:00 +0000

"Biathlon Canada would like to thank USANA for its tremendous support to all of our athletes and staff at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. One of our athletes has posted the best ever results for Canadian men in the history of our sport at the Olympic Games and we are excited about what the future holds for all of these young athletes as they take their experiences from these Games and go forward with new goals for the World Cup and 2014 Olympic Games.

Over the past month all of our athletes have been healthy, a great feat in sport where athletes are constantly traveling, living away from home, eating at different venues than their own homes, all which puts additional stress on the body’s immune system and its ability to recover.

The USANA products that our athletes take daily have definitely helped our team achieve this state of healthiness which in turn allows the athletes to focus more on their training and competitions."
