Every year, the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) honours student athletes who excel in sport at the university level, while maintaining an 80 per cent average in ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, as Academic All-Canadians. This is an outstanding accomplishment considering the amount of time student-athletes commit to training.

Routinely, Pronghorn Athletics possesses an above average number of AAC recipients in the CIS, when considering the number of overall athletes at each school.

On Friday, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge recognized the achievement of 41 outstanding student-athletes, who achieved Academic All-Canadian Honours. This number represents over 22 per cent of our student-athlete body and an increase of six athletes from last year, a remarkable number signifying the importance our program places on ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ.

"To do well in ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ is always an excellent achievement but to do well in ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ as well as athletics, that is truly remarkable," said
U of L President Dr. Bill Cade at a luncheon recognizing the 41 honourees.

Both the women's soccer and rugby teams led the All-Canadian selections with eight team members achieving status.
