Laurentian University student athletes recently proved athletics and academics can be combined with tremendous success.
The CIS and OUA have recognized 22 Laurentian athletes for
their accomplishment in successfully mixing the two components.
Out of the eight teams that compete at the CIS level, a
total of 21 student-athletes achieved Academic All-Canadian
status, while one student-athlete from the two teams that
compete at the OUA level was awarded the OUA Academic
Achievement award for 2005-06.
To become an academic all-Canadian, students must maintain a
grade point average of 80 percent or better while playing at
least one recognized CIS varsity sport.
The OUA Academic Achievement award is given to
student-athletes who obtain the same grade point average, but
compete in sports that only fall under the OUA.
