The College of the Canyons Athletic Department honored Cougar student-athletes who will be graduating and/or transferring this semester while also naming six Student-Athlete Academic Excellence Award Winners during the department's annual end of the year celebratory dinner.

To be eligible for the Academic Excellence Award student-athletes must have competed in their sport for two seasons and demonstrate tremendous leadership qualities, with the student's combined GPA also a determining factor in recognizing award winners.

The honorees for the 2025-26 academic year are: 

The college's 2026 graduating class includes more than 90 student-athletes, with a combined GPA above 3.4, who will be earning an associate degree and/or transferring to a four-year school. In all, more than 100 associate degrees will be awarded to COC student-athletes.

Those numbers included individuals from 15 of the college's intercollegiate athletic programs and eight dual-sport student-athletes.
