A four-time OUA first team all-star, Genich capped off Day 3 with a gold-medal finish in the 200 individual medley, which earned her the Dr. Jeno Tihanyi IM award of excellence for the second time in her career.
 
Second-year standout Graeme Aylward won four gold medals and added one silver in leading the Varsity Blues men's swimming team to their 17th straight OUA banner this past weekend at Toronto Pan Am Pool in Scarborough.
 
The industrial engineering major from Milton Ont., won the 100 and 200 breaststroke events to earn OUA first team all-star honours.
