It has been another tremendous season of varsity competition for the McMaster athletic program, and the Department of Athletics & Recreation will celebrate on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 with the 89^th annual Athletic Awards.   

The Athletic Awards ceremony and presentations will be held in the Burridge Gymnasium, starting at 6 pm.
