Individual medal winners on Day 2 for the Dinos included Russell Wood, Fiona Doyle and Lindsay Delmar once again. Wood won his second backstroke event of the Championships when he swam the 100m backstroke in 52.66. Fiona Doyle added a silver to her total of the weekend in the 200m breatstroke with a time of  2:24.17 and Delmar won the bronze in the 400m free at  4:07.72. 

Both men's and women's Dinos 4x200m free relay teams won silver, following closely behind the UBC Thunderbirds. For the men, Wood, David Woodman, Reid Scarrow and Connor Maxey finished with a time of 7:12.27. On the women's side, the silver medalist included Doyle, Delmar, Talia Benson and Olivia Bellio with a time of 8:07.37.


The host Varsity Blues made up ground with nine medals on the night. Veteran Zack Chetrat of Oakville, Ont., won his fifth career title in the 200 butterfly and a bronze medal in the 400 freestyle, helping Toronto's men to 488 team points, ahead of the Canada West champion UBC Thunderbirds (420). Calgary sits third with 253 points heading into Day 3.

  

Joining Chetrat atop the podium were teammates Edward Liu and Chris Manning. Liu earned his first CIS title in the men's 50 butterfly in a time of 24.04, with teammate Brian Lee not far behind in second place (24.15). Manning, a transfer from Auburn University, won the men's 50 freestyle in 21.92, out-touching UBC's Luke Peddie by just two one-hundredths of a second. 

  

In women's action, UBC (532.5) is well on their way to a third straight CIS banner, holding a dominant 262.5-point lead over the RSEQ champion Montreal Carabins (270) the Calgary Dinos are third (211), with Western (194.5) and Toronto (187) not far behind.

 

The story of Day 2 was Montreal Carabins standout Sandrine Mainville. The Boucherville, Que., native kicked off the day with two CIS championship record-breaking performances in preliminaries. She bettered UQTR's Jennifer Carroll's 2009 50 butterfly mark (26.87) with a time of 26.19 seconds and also broke UQTR's Caroline Lapierre-Lemire's 50 freestyle championship record (24.87) in 24.85 seconds Friday morning. Mainville swam to gold in both events Friday night.

  

UBC's men's 800 freestyle relay team of Stefan Milosevic, Jonathan Brown, Justin Chan and Coleman Allen capped off Day 2 with a CIS championship record-breaking performance, bettering their 2003 record (7:10.95) in a time of 7:09.50.

 

Frederic Le Blanc of UQTR and Keegan Zannata of the Victoria Vikes won the 200 breaststroke and 400 freestyle events, respectively.

 

Carabins rookie Barbara Jardin dethroned three-time 400 freestyle champion and fellow Olympian Savannah King of UBC in a time of 4:06.57. It's Jardin's second gold medal of the meet, after claiming the top spot in the 200 freestyle on Day 1.

  

UBC teammates Tera Van Beilen and Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson also claimed gold on Day 2. Van Beilen earned her second straight 200 breaststroke title (2:21.82), while Seltenreich-Hodgson notched her second title in as many days in the 200 butterfly, with both races seeing an all-Canada West podium finish.

  

Seltenreich-Hodgson joined Savannah King, Brittney Harley and Heather MacLean to take the top spot in the women's 800 freestyle relay in a time of 7:57.84, almost a full 10 seconds ahead of Calgary (8:07.37).
