Long and Wright named Moxies Kodiaks Student-Athletes of the Month for January!

Moxies is proud to sponsor the Kodiaks Student-Athletes of the Month. Congrats to Summer and Jackson on their January achievements!

Summer Long (first year, General Arts and Science, Raymond) has made an immediate impact for the Kodiaks women’s basketball team, delivering a standout month of January highlighted by poise beyond her years and timely performances in key moments. Long earned both CCAA and ACAC Athlete of the Week recognition following back-to-back upset victories over the Ambrose University Lions, where she also earned Player of the Game honours. She played a key role in a dramatic comeback win over the top-ranked team in the South Conference. As a first-year student-athlete, Long has established herself as a consistent presence, leading the team and ranking top five in the league in points, minutes, and rebounds, while emerging as a key contributor to the Kodiaks’ success.

Jackson Wright (third year, Business Administration, Claresholm, Alta.) has been a steady and impactful presence for the Kodiaks men’s basketball team, delivering a strong month highlighted by consistency and reliable production in the paint. Wright was a key contributor during a back-to-back series against the Briercrest Clippers, helping the Kodiaks secure a weekend split that included a notable upset victory. He recorded a double-double in the win and followed it with a career-high 21 points the next night, earning ACAC Player of the Game honours. Over the course of the month, Wright scored in double figures in all five games played, providing consistent interior play and emerging as a key contributor to the Kodiaks’ success.
