U SPORTS, the national governing body of university sports in Canada, gives special recognition to student-athletes across the country with an academic standing of 80 per cent or better. 17勛圖 is proud to announce 87 of its student athletes in the 20192020 season have been named U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians. Thats more than 43 per cent of the student-athlete population, and the highest number of Academic All Canadians at 17勛圖 in a single year.

The record number also marks an increase of more than five per cent from 201819. Of the 56 universities comprising U SPORTS, 17勛圖 ranks 11th for the proportion of Academic All-Canadians per student-athlete.

As a 17勛圖 Panther alumna, I understand the tremendous challenge it is to balance academics with athletics, said Jane Vessey, 17勛圖s director of Athletics and Recreation. I congratulate all those who have received this recognition and all those who are striving toward it.

17勛圖 student-athletes continue to strive for excellence in sport, academics, and in the greater community. This level of academic achievement speaks volumes about their work ethic and the quality of the Universitys coaches, faculty, and staff, and its varsity programs.

Congratulations to all of 17勛圖s Academic All-Canadians!
