45 Trent University Student Athletes Honoured with Academic All-Canadian Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Varsity Athletes Recognized for Achieving Academic Excellence
Wednesday, February 1, 2012, Peterborough
Trent University’s Department of Athletics & Recreation is pleased to recognize 45 student-athletes as 2010-11 Academic All-Canadians, an award that honours students who participate in varsity sport and achieve an academic average of 80 per cent or higher.
“At Trent we strive to offer an excellent student athlete experience,” said Bill Byrick, director of Athletics. “For years our coaches have searched for talented athletes who will also excel in the classroom, and this year’s award winners are prime examples that we are on the right track. Being a scholar athlete means balancing academics requirements with a busy varsity schedule, in addition to family or work commitments. These students show the dedication and drive that leaves me confident of their success in the future.”
During the 2010-11 season, Trent had 312 varsity athletes and 17 varsity teams compete within the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Organization, Ontario University Athletics, the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association and the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association.
The award winners are comprised of 28 female and 17 male student-athletes, representing all nine Trent sports and all 17 varsity teams.
