For the eighth straight year, the Rebels captured the overall team points title to set and Ontario Fed- eration of Schools Athletic Associ- ation record for the most consecu- tive wins by a team in any sport in OFSAA history. GDHS accumulated 1,458 points, nearly twice as many as the runner-up finisher, Sir Frederick Banting of London, which had 749. Highlights from the meet in- cluded the Rebels winning all four high school divisions (junior girls & boys, senior girls & boys) and gold medals in three relay events. Georgetown's junior girls' med- ley relay team of Krista Lochert, Mackenzie Warnock, Megan Bros- seau and Lexie Cranfield touched the wall first, with junior girls' free- style squad, consisting of Cran- field, Brosseau, Annie Elgie and Lauren Monhemius, earning golds as well. The Rebel senior boys' med- ley team of Ted Mosoi, Thomas Kutarna, Michael Chang and Nick Gramas raced to victory in their re- lay, while the senior girls' relay with Arielle Mersiadis-Carrier, Laken Schmid, Sally Ross and Aurora Zuraw picking up silver medals. There were four individual medalists as Mersiadis-Carrier came away with three in total af- ter gold in the 50m butterfly and bronze in the 50m freestyle, as did Warnock with a gold in the 100m IM and a silver in the 50m breast- stroke. Aurora Zuraw added a bronze in the 200m freestyle. Christ the King's Britney Dor- tona placed fourth in the open girls' 100m freestyle, just 7-100ths of a second out of a podium spot, and was fifth in the open girls' 50m free. There are 83 students in total on this year's OFSAA-championship Georgetown Rebels' swim team and almost half that total qualified to compete in last week's provincial meet in Windsor, leading to an eighth team title in a row.

The second-ranked Hawks earned the first national championship medal for a Humber College volleyball squad at last week's Canadian Colleges Ath- letic Association tournament in PEI and Georgetown's Elizabeth Deakin-Poot, a second-year early childhood education student, played the middle position on the team. Humber had not lost a match in On- tario league action this season, extend- ing its unbeaten run within the province to 109 straight over the past five years, heading into the CCAA finals at Holland College. The Hawks won their quarterfinal match against Halifax's MSVU Mystics Thursday in three straight sets before taking on the sixth-ranked VIU Mari- ners in the semis Friday night, with the Nanaimo, B.C. school prevailing 27-25, 25-17, 25-16. In the bronze medal contest, Hum- ber dropped the first set to the third- seeded Briercrest Clippers of Caron- port, Sask. before taking the next three 25-23, 25-17, 26-24.
