Brent Hoskins, head coach of the Simon Fraser University men's lacrosse team and executive director of the Burnaby Mountain lacrosse elite development program, has officially announced the recipients of the second annual Burnaby Mountain Selects scholar athlete awards.
This prestigious award was developed to recognize academic achievement and on-field excellence for each scholastic year. This year's scholar athlete awards will recognize a total of 56 student/athletes who competed in the fall 2010 and/or summer 2011 elite touring program and achieved an academic average of 80 per cent or higher for the 2010-2011 school year. This year's scholar athletes reside in public and private schools in 19 communities across the Lower Mainland, B.C. Interior and Washington State.
Each of the student-athletes listed below will also be acknowledged for their outstanding academic achievement and receive an award certificate at the next Maple Leaf Awards Dinner in January 2012, an event that celebrates youth and collegiate field lacrosse in British Columbia.
