LETHBRIDGE – Every year, U SPORTS honors student athletes who excel in sport at the University level, while maintaining an 80% average in academics, as Academic All-Canadians. This is an outstanding accomplishment considering the amount of time student-athletes commit to training.
Pronghorn Athletes had another exceptional year in the classroom with 74 Pronghorn student-athletes achieving the honour this past year.
The 74 Pronghorn athletes named Academic All-Canadians this year ties the previous program's best total from 2016-17. Last year, there was 71 Academic All-Canadians.
These 74 Pronghorns account for more than 30% of the school's eligible varsity athletes achieving this prestigious status.
The university recognized these outstanding student-athletes at a dinner hosted by University President Dr. Mike Mahon and his wife Maureen on November 26
th.
"Having over a third of our student athletes is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our student athletes as well as for the U of L as a whole," said said Sport and Recreation Executive Director Ken McInnes. "Our incredible faculty and staff support our students in so many ways it allows these student athletes to excel in the classroom as well as in the competitive arena. "
Men's hockey, women's soccer, and women's hockey each had 10 members reaching All-Canadian status, followed closely by men's swimming with nine.
The 2018-19 Pronghorn Academic All-Canadians are also recipients of the Deb Steacy AAC Scholarship.
Since the inception of the All-Canadian program in 1990, 1,131 Pronghorn varsity athletes have been named Academic All-Canadians.
