Every year, U SPORTS honors student athletes who excel in sport at the University level, while maintaining an 80% average in academics, as Academic All-Canadians. This is an outstanding accomplishment considering the amount of time student-athletes commit to training.
 

Pronghorn Athletes set another new standard in the classroom with 84 Pronghorn student-athletes achieving the honour this past year.
 
The 84 Pronghorn athletes named Academic All-Canadians this year eclipses the previous program's best total of 75 set in 2016-17. In 2018-19, 74 Pronghorn athletes achieved Academic All-Canadian status.
 
These 84 Pronghorns account for more than 40% of the school's eligible varsity athletes achieving this prestigious status.
 
Under normal circumstances the university celebrates this success with a dinner hosted by University President Dr. Mike Mahon, but due to the current pandemic landscape the university was unable to host an event.

Since the inception of the All-Canadian program in 1990, 1,219 Pronghorn varsity athletes have been named Academic All-Canadians.
