Fifth-year veteran Zack Chetrat won five gold medals and was named the male swimmer of the year in leading the University of Toronto Varsity Blues to their 11th straight OUA title this past weekend, Feb. 6-8, at Brock University.
A native of Oakville, Ont., Chetrat swept all three butterfly events, setting a new OUA record in the 100 butterfly (53.35) and earning an OUA major grand slam award for his fifth career victory in the 200 event (1:56.52).
The five-time OUA all-star and four-time CIS all-Canadian anchored Toronto’s 800 freestyle relay team to gold in a record-tying time of 7:23.84 on Day 1 and was also a member of U of T’s winning 400 medley relay team on Day 2 (3:40.08).
An economics and political science major, Chetrat helped contribute 157 points to Toronto’s 959 final point tally.Â
