In swimming, both the men脮s and women脮s teams easily won the AUS team titles. 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 then hosted the CIS championships at Dalplex. On the backs of a strong group of relay swimmers, the Tigers were able to win the team bronze medal on the men脮s side. The four man squad of Bryce Tung, Matthew Terauds, Brannyn Hale and Doug Young were able to hold off a strong Laval team in the final race of the weekend to secure their overall third place team finish. The women脮s team finished 13th overall.
The AUS track and field championships in Moncton saw 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 take home both the men脮s and women脮s team banners. At the nationals Dal had a very strong showing with Geoff Harris winning gold in the 600M, Ueli Albert taking silver in the 1000M, the men脮s 4x800M relay team capturing silver, and Alicia Dobranowski winning silver in the women脮s pentathlon.
The women脮s basketball team had a very strong season finishing first place overall in league play, but couldn脮t find a way to defeat Memorial in the AUS championship game. The team still qualified for the CIS championship tournament where they defeated the defending champion and number one seed UBC Thunderbirds, before eventually losing the bronze medal game to their rivals from Memorial.
The men脮s team had a solid regular season and qualified for the AUS championship tournament before losing their first round game to eventual champion Acadia. Alex Legge was named AUS female rookie of the year, while Kelly Donald and Kate McNeil were honoured as AUS first team all-stars.
