The Competitive Club Student-Athlete Awards will recognize one male and one female student-athlete in a Dinos competitive club program. Selection is based on athletic performance and leadership, academic performance, and community involvement, recognizing student-athletes that have made a significant contribution to the competitive club system at the University of Calgary.
AWARD WINNERS - 57th ANNUAL NIGHT OF THE DINO:
CJ Sauve | Ringette | 4th Year | Science | Calgary, AB
A captain each of the past two seasons, Sauve has been an exceptional leader for the Dinos ringette squad. She helped this year's team to gold medals at both the National University Ringette Championships back in December, as well as the Western Canadian Championships to close out the season in late March. Sauve also led the organization of the two major team fundraisers and gives back in various ways away from the Dinos, both on and off the ice. She is also a standout in the classroom, where she is studying Zoology and plans to continue her education in veterinary medicine.
