Well, the Varsity Blues swim team has done it again. At last week’s provincial championships, the women’s team walked away with their fourth straight title, and the men with their third first- place finish in as many years. As expected, it was U of T’s rookie Jennifer Porenta (left) and teammate Marcia Bryon (right) who helped the women’s Blues rake in an unvelievable 18 gold medals. Porenta broke an OUA record for the 50m freestyle, and both her and Bryon finished the championship with four first-place finishes each. Porenta has since been recognized as a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) athlete of the week, and shared similar honours with Bryon for the Ontario University Association (OUA). Assistant coach Linda Kiefer (middle) was also recognized for her team’s success-she was named the OUA Female Coach of the Year.
