Throughout the years, several individuals who attended York University at some point in their careers have donned their home country's colours and competed at the highest level. Some were interuniversity athletes on York teams while others attended York as students while training in their chosen sports outside of school. The valuable lessons and experience they achieved from academics and athletics at York will remain with them forever.
