Swimming: Tigers challenge records, win trophy
The Dalhousie men’s and women’s swim teams combined to win their second meet in as many attempts, capturing the Jack Scholz Memorial Trophy on a wintry weekend in Wolfville. Led by strong performances by David Sharpe, Joe Ur and Chris Reith, the men managed to fend off a stiff challenge from second-place Acadia during the Nov. 2 session, eventually pulling away from their rivals over the course of the next day. The women enjoyed another dominant outing, beating the second-place Mount Allison Mounties by 103 points. Rachel Shin came close to matching a CIS standard in the 400-metre individual medley winning her race in 5:02.07 (the CIS standard is 5:01.99). The Tigers will look to bring this momentum home in time for the Dalhousie Invitational, scheduled for Nov.16-17.
