170 Bears and Pandas earn Academic All-Canadian honours

University of Alberta leads all-time Academic All-Canadians

EDMONTON – The University of Alberta added to their Canadian record with another 170 Golden Bears and Pandas student-athletes receiving Academic All-Canadian status during the 2019/20 season.

Of those 170, 158 are AAC's from U SPORTS sanctioned sports, while another 12 are from the Bears and Pandas tennis program.

HIGHLIGHTS:
  • The Golden Bears and Pandas 158 U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians are the third most in school history, trialing the 162 from 2018/19, and tied the 158 from 2017/18.
  • The University of Alberta's All-Time AAC total now stands at 3,227, the most in Canadian University Sport.
  • Four teams also set new program records, including Golden Bears Soccer (11), Pandas Rugby (15), Pandas Swimming (8), and Pandas Track and Field (15).
The criteria to be honoured as an AAC is maintaining an average of 80% or better over the academic year, while competing full-time for one of the university's varsity teams.

11 UAlberta faculties are represented in the AAC total from 2019/20, led by 53 student-athletes from Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation, followed by 36 from Science and 20 from Engineering.

"While we highly value team and sporting accomplishments at the University of Alberta, Academic All-Canadian honours is perhaps the most remarkable individual accomplishment our student-athletes can receive," said Golden Bears and Pandas Athletic Director, Dr. Ian Reade. "To perform athletically at the levels they do, and still find the time and desire to also excel in the classroom is remarkable. To have had over 3,200 Bears and Pandas earn this accomplishment since the program began in 1991 is something I'm incredibly proud of."

The Golden Bears and Pandas will also announce the winners of the Kathlene Yetman Memorial Trophy and the Mark Goodkey Memorial Trophy later this week. The two awards are presented annually to the Female and Male UAlberta Academic All-Canadian student-athletes of the year.
