Ã山ǿ¼é

MONTREAL – Steven Bielby of Pointe Claire, Que., won two gold medals and a silver as the Ã山ǿ¼é Redmen finished third at the second Quebec Cup swim meet of the season, held in Quebec City, Saturday.

Laval captured the men’s division with 202 points, followed by Montreal (88), Ã山ǿ¼é (63), Sherbrooke (13) and UQTR (7).

Bielby, a 5-foot-7 freshman, won the 400-metre individual medley in four minutes, 24.21 seconds, the third fastest time in school history. The 19-year-old electrical engineering major also captured the grueling 1500m freestyle in 15:54.37 -- the second quickest time in Ã山ǿ¼é history -- and anchored the 4x200 freestyle relay to bronze in 3:33.27.

Other members on the relay included leadoff sprinter Jason Boivin, a freshman from Pointe Claire, followed by sophomore Sam Thrall of Oakville, Ont., and junior Diego Passoa, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The only other Redmen medalist on the day was freshman Matthew Khatchadourian of Beaconsfield, Que., who was clocked at 30.31 seconds in the 50m breaststroke, good enough for third place.

The swim team will send a few members to a Canada Cup meet in Etobicoke, Ont., Nov. 28-30. After that, they are scheduled to hold a post-Christmas training camp in Waikiki, Hawaii, Dec. 26 to Jan. 8, before resuming their conference schedule with the third Quebec Cup competition, at Trois-Rivières, Jan. 10.
