PRINCE GEORGE – The previous record for U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians at the University of Northern British Columbia was 20, set in the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 years. That mark has been surpassed in a major way, as 38 Timberwolves have been recognized for their tremendous achievements in the classroom in the 2020-2021 season.
The annual U SPORTS Academic All-Canadian ceremony honours students who have achieved a Grade Point Average of 3.67 (an A- letter grade) or higher.
“We couldn’t be more proud of our student-athletes who continue to raise the bar and set an incredible standard in athletics and in the classroom,” said Loralyn Murdoch, UNBC Director of Athletics & Recreation. “It is very difficult to spend considerable time on athletics, while still maintaining a truly impressive academic level of success.”
“This year, I am beyond impressed, because it was achieved during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. These individuals were out of their routines, adapting to new teaching structures, adjusting to altered schedules, while still training regularly with their teams. I am so thrilled for our thirty-eight Academic All-Canadians.”
