Warriors honour 2016-17 Academic All-Canadians

On Monday, October 23, the Office of the President recognized the 2016-17 Warrior student-athletes who are on the academic honour roll. This award is given to student-athletes who have maintained an average of 80% and higher while competing for an interuniversity sport. The University of Waterloo annually enjoys one of the highest percentages of Academic All-Canadian student-athletes in the country.

This year, 214 student-athletes were honoured (up from 206 last year) for their accomplishment which makes up 35% of the student-athlete population at UWaterloo.

This was the highest number of student-athletes in the history of the department to have been named Academic All-Canadians. Consistently, UWaterloo student-athletes have demonstrated excellence both in the classroom and on the playing field and it is something to be very proud of.

"Within a department and university where academic success is at the forefront, it is very exciting and rewarding to see so many of our student-athletes achieving this kind of success in the classroom," said director of athletics and recreation, Roly Webster.

"This amazing accomplishment by these individuals, has contributed to a collective achievement that recognizes the largest number of student-athletes in our history of Academic All-Canadians. For these student-athletes to balance their academic and athletics at such a high standard is no small feat, and every one of them should be extremely proud of their accomplishments and contributions they continue to make on our campus."

The proud student-athletes received their awards in front of their fellow teammates, influential professors, coaches, and distinguished individuals at the University of Waterloo.
