February 4, 2011 – The CCAA Athletes of the Month for January are eight student-athletes competing in CCAA badminton. The CCAA Athlete of the Month program recognizes student-athletes for their outstanding event performance and athletic accomplishments during the month.
Badminton awards are presented to one male and one female student-athlete in each of the four participating conferences: the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association (ACAA), Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA), Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) and British Columbia Colleges’ Athletic Association (BCCAA).
RuiLin Huang dominates the BCCAA – she won 35 consecutive matches this season. She took home first place in women’s singles all three BCCAA events, the most recent of which took place in January when she finished the weekend with a perfect 12-0. Another January highlight was a series ranking event in Alberta, where she won women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. She also coaches several junior Royals, volunteers at the college, and studies business.
