Shaquane Toussaint, a freshman student-athlete from Mount Rodney, St. Patrick, Grenada, has achieved extraordinary success during his inaugural semester at Monroe University. The Mac Donald College (Sauteurs) graduate has distinguished himself as a standout performer on the university’s men’s track and field team, earning national recognition from the prestigious U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Toussaint’s exceptional athletic performance has garnered him the highly competitive Athlete of the Week honor, a distinction previously achieved by only two other Monroe University athletes throughout the institution’s history. This accomplishment becomes particularly remarkable considering his status as a first-semester freshman competing at the collegiate level.
Beyond his athletic prowess, Toussaint demonstrates equal excellence in academic pursuits. As a Computer Information Systems major at Monroe’s New Rochelle, NY campus, he maintains strong academic performance while balancing the demands of elite collegiate athletics.
University officials expressed immense pride in Toussaint’s multidimensional achievements, highlighting his discipline, sportsmanship, leadership qualities, and natural talent. The Grenadian student-athlete not only represents Monroe University with distinction but also serves as an international ambassador for his home country on the collegiate athletic stage.
