EDMONTON – Another season of incredible academic success is in the books for MacEwan Griffins student athletes.

That's 12 more than in 2022-23 and represents the third-highest total the Griffins have had since joining U SPORTS in 2014.

"Our Academic All-Canadians exemplify what it means to excel both in sport and scholarship," said Griffins Athletics Director Joel Mrak. "Their commitment to achieving greatness in the classroom while representing our university with pride on the field is truly remarkable.

"They are shining examples of the best in university athletics and inspire our entire campus community."
