GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A new year means a new chance to celebrate the very best of Aquinas College Athletics! Each week during the 2025–26 academic year, the Aquinas Athletic Communications Department will spotlight the excellence, dedication, and spirit that make our AQ community so special.
The long-standing Saints of the Week tradition returns, honoring one male and one female in-season student-athlete who shine not only in competition, but also in the classroom and the community. And this year, the spotlight grows even brighter with the introduction of the Saint Support Superstar award — recognizing the unsung heroes of AQ Athletics, including coaches, administrators, graduate assistants, and staff members who go above and beyond behind the scenes.
Now here's where YOU come in:
• Have an in-season AQ athlete who inspires you with their talent, work ethic, and leadership? Nominate them for Saints of the Week!
• Know a coach, GA, Athletic Admin or any athletic staff member who tirelessly serves our student-athletes and makes a difference every day? They could be our next Saint Support Superstar!
