Sharpshooting guard Ryan MacKinnon was named University of Victoria male athlete of the 2011-12 season last Wednesday during the Vikes' sports awards banquet at the Victoria Conference Centre.
MacKinnon, a graduating fifth-year player out of Comox, was named Canada West first-team all-star and to the CIS national second-team and scored a conference-best 55 three-pointers, finishing with 204 in his stellar career.
“I made a lot of friendships over the five years. The wins and losses come and go, but it’s the friends you’ll always keep,” MacKinnon, who graduates to become a teacher, told a reporter.
