SIRC (Sport Information Resource Centre) and the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) are proud to announce the 2010/11 SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Award recipients.
This year, 143 student-athletes have achieved combined excellence in collegiate athletics and academics, an increase from 119 recipients in the 2009/10 season.
The SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Award is the CCAA’s most prestigious student-athlete award, epitomizing the CCAA’s mandate of recognizing excellence in academics and athletics.
To achieve this award, a student-athlete must be named to his/her respective PCAA All-Star teams (1st and 2nd) in a CCAA Sport, and must achieve honours standing at their Institution.
“To achieve excellence in both sport and academics requires tremendous skill, dedication and perseverance,” said Debra Gassewitz, President and CEO of SIRC. “SIRC is honoured to recognize these outstanding collegiate student-athletes who are also passionate about excelling in their education.”
“The CCAA is committed to academic success and athletic achievement,” stated Sandra Murray-MacDonell, CCAA Executive Director. “We are very proud to recognize and celebrate those student-athletes who’ve attained the highest possible CCAA honour in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence.”
The SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Recognition Award is also presented each year to the institution with the most student-athlete award recipients.
This year, SIRC and the CCAA are pleased to present the award to Vancouver Island University, with nine (9) recipients attaining academic and athletic excellence.
