Out of the possible 266 eligible student-athletes who consumed CIS eligibility by participating on a varsity team at StFX during the 2011-12 season, 21% achieved CIS Academic All-Canadian status, including 11 male student-athletes and 44 females. StFX University continues to have over 50 CIS Academic All-Canadians each year.
There were 31 first-time Academic All-Canadians, 11 student-athletes who received the honor for the second time in their career, and eight student-athletes who were three-time Academic All-Canadians. Four StFX student-athletes were honored as an Academic All-Canadian for the fourth time in their varsity career including volleyball athletes Heather Isenor, Katherine Ryan and Catherine Thornton, and cross country/track & field runner Kelly MacDonald. Former multi-sport athlete Tory Anderson (cross country, track & field & basketball) was received the prestige of being the lone five-time Academic All-Canadian.
The Academic All-Canadians were honored at a celebratory breakfast at the Charles V. Keating Centre where they received a certificate from Canadian Interuniversity Sport along with a gift from the Department of Athletics. All student-athletes were encouraged to invite a faculty member to accompany them to the breakfast.
