The Martlet and Redmen swimming teams competed in the RSEQ championship this past weekend. The Marlets captured the Quebec university title for the first time in eight years, placing ahead of Laval by a narrow margin. A few standouts were Lei Lopez, Laura Mendonca, and Sophie Overney-Ragan, who each collected two gold medals. Leanne Roach also earned the annual leadership and citizenship award for her fundraising work for the Cedars Breast Cancer Clinic. 

The Redmen finished second behind Laval and were led by Steven Bielby, who was named the RSEQ men’s swimmer of the year. He collected four gold medals at the meet. Other multiple gold medal winners included Marc-Andre Benoit, Tyler Manning-Dahan, and Michael Luck. 

Twenty McGill swimmers are headed to Nationals, which takes place Feb. 23-25 in Montreal.
