ESPN.com news services

Seattle's Lauren Jackson and Washington's Chamique Holdsclaw have been named the WNBA's 2003 Bud Light Peak Performers for scoring and rebounding, respectively.

The program honors the league's leading scorer and top rebounder during the regular season. Bud Light will award $12,500 each to Holdsclaw and Jackson, with a portion of those proceeds going to a charity of their choice.

Jackson, in her third season with the Storm, led the WNBA in scoring for the first time with a career-high 21.2 scoring average. She scored 698 points, sinking 254 field goals and 151 free throws.

This season, Jackson also became the youngest player in WNBA history to top the 1,000-point plateau, and set a single-game career high with 34 points. Holdsclaw finished second with 20.5 points a game, followed by Indiana's Tamika Catchings (19.7), L.A.'s Lisa Leslie (18.4) and Minnesota's Katie Smith (18.2).

Holdsclaw, who took home both honors last season, led the WNBA in rebounding for the second consecutive summer, finishing with 10.9 boards per game and a total of 294 rebounds. Detroit rookie Cheryl Ford, who snared a WNBA rookie record 334 rebounds, finished second, averaging 10.4 boards, followed by Leslie (10.0), Jackson (9.3) and New York's Tari Philips (8.5).

The Bud Light Peak Performers program is part of Bud Light's $100,000 commitment to WNBA players.

Bud Light also will award cash prizes to the players on the All-WNBA First and Second Teams presented by Bud Light prior to Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Sept. 14. Each first team player will receive $10,000 and each second team player will be awarded $5,000.
