Both of Brock’s swimming squads worked hard this weekend, swimming in one of their most important competitions of the year: the Dean Boles Divisional Championship.
Facing off against McMaster, Queens, Wilfrid Laurier, York and Carleton Universities, the Boles Divisional is the first of two Ontario University Athletics (OUA) meets that the Badgers will participate in.
Brock’s women’s team had a strong showing, finishing third. They accumulated 591 points over the two days while Carleton achieved 691 and Guelph dominated with 1,215.
Chloe Smith was a key contributor, finishing fourth in women’s 50m fly and 100m fly, as well as participating in fourth-place relay finished in 4x50m freestyle and 4x50m medley. Jami Fuson had the Badgers’ top finish on the women’s side, placing third in the 800m freestyle.
The men’s side, on the other hand, had a banner weekend for the Badgers. Brock men’s swimming won their first divisional championship in program history. Their 1,030 points beat out Guelph (885) and Laurier (627) for the top prize.
Julien Legault and Evan Karlov were the stars of the show for the Badgers. Karlov finished first in both 100m and 200m freestyle as well as second in 50m freestyle. Legault received second in 100m and 200m backstroke and first in 50m backstroke. Legault’s times in all three set new Brock records. Legault also had a record-breaking split in the 4x50m freestyle, where the Badgers placed second.
