Saint Mary’s University honured their top student athletes on Saturday January 28th at the first ever
CIS Academic All-Canadian Brunch & Awards.

Thirty five varsity athletes were recognized in front of their family, friends and professors for achieving excellence in both athletics and academics.

The event was held at the Courtside Lounge in the Tower.

This is the first time Saint Mary’s University has formally honoured student athletes who have been recognized as an Academic All-Canadian according to standards set by the Canadian Interuniversity Sport.

Each year, universities across the country recognize athletes who have maintained a grade point average (GPA) of 80 percent or better over the academic year while competing for one of their university's varsity teams.

Here are the athletes at Saint Mary’s University who qualified for the prestigious honour.
