Mohawk College’s Dr. Sam Mitminger Award for consistent academic and athletic excellence by a graduating student athlete has been awarded to women’s basketball and softball star Shanien O’Neill.

The Highland Secondary School graduate averaged 85 per cent over seven semesters, including 91 per cent over her last semester. Over the past year, she managed to schedule an intensive two-year program into one year and still starred for two OCAA bronze medal-winning teams.
