Concordia wrestler Tyler Marghetis was named one of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Top 8 Academic All-Canadians for the 2004-'05 season.
Every year, a growing number of CIS student-athletes are recognized as academic all-Canadians, having maintained a grade point average (GPA) of 80 per cent or better over the academic year while playing on one of their university's varsity teams. In 2004-'05, more than 2,000 student-athletes reached the prestigious status. Among these outstanding individuals, one female and one male from each CIS regional association are selected annually as Top 8 Academic All-Canadians.
Marghetis, along with McGill University soccer player Danielle Day, were named the top student-athletes from the Quebec Student Sports Federation.
A 21-year-old native of Ottawa, Tyler Marghetis captured his second consecutive individual gold medal at the CIS wrestling championship last winter in the 76-kilogram category and went on to represent Canada at the 2005 Summer World University Games in Turkey. In his rookie university season in 2002-'03, he had already claimed a silver medal at the CIS nationals.
A pure and applied mathematics major with a minor in philosophy, Marghetis maintained a 4.07 GPA (out of 4.30) in 2004-'05 to earn a place on the Dean's List and the President's Academic Award.
Each member of the CIS Top 8 receives a Tissot watch as well as a gift of $500.
In all nine Stinger athletes were named CIS academic all-Canadians. Concordia University considers a 3.7 GPA out of 4.3 the academic all-Canadian standard.
