Trent
University Recognizes Close to 60 Academic All-Canadians
Students with high
academic averages who participate in varsity athletics honoured this
evening
A celebration in recognition of excellence in athletics and academia
at Trent University saw close to 60 students recognized as Academic All-Canadians
this evening at Trent University. The annual awards event, hosted by
the Department of Athletics and Recreation, honoured students who participate
in varsity sports and achieve an academic average of 80 per cent or higher.
"This level of excellence in sport and scholarly accomplishment
is truly exceptional," says Bill Byrick, Athletics director. "There
is a balance that has to be struck to achieve so highly in both of these
areas; it is a priority at Trent, to create an environment in which this
type of balance is encouraged and supported. My congratulations to this
incredible number of exceptional individuals, as well as the people who
sustain them."
Thirty per cent
of Trent's 200 varsity athletes qualify as Academic
All-Canadians, exemplifying the fact that being athletic doesn't
have to come at the expense of being academic at Trent. The University
has 19 varsity teams that compete within the Canadian Interuniversity
Sport organization, Ontario University Athletics and Ontario Colleges
Athletic Association.
The following students were honoured as Academic All-Canadians:
