The Malaspina Mariner academic excellence list is larger than ever.
Mariner athletes set another record this semester for the most athletes achieving academic excellence. This past semester, 41 Mariner athletes accomplished that goal (achieving a B+ average or higher), the most any group of Mariner athletes has ever achieved. Credit goes to the amazing Mariner coaching staff, who strongly encourage academic success.
The Mariner women’s basketball team made coach Dave Butler particularly proud by receiving the top GPA honours and because team member Jessica Duncan had the top overall GPA for student athletes.
This was a tremendous season for the Mariners, which included a national championship, the aggregate award and now a new level of academic excellence.
