SASKATOON – The University of Saskatchewan Huskie student-athletes and trainers are being recognized for more than just their in-game contributions.
Rolled out over social media, 178 student-athletes were honoured for having made an All-Academic Team for the 2019-20 season. With student-trainers added in, that number rises to 209, both marks which are tops in the history of Huskie Athletics.
Athletes, trainers and managers from all 15 teams are included and represented 11 colleges on the University of Saskatchewan campus.
“Having 209 All-Academics is an impressive number that we take great pride in and hope to build on each season,” said Huskies Chief Athletics Officer Dave Hardy. “On behalf of Huskie Athletics I would like to congratulate each and every one of our All-Academics.
