VANCOUVER 鈥� Steven Bielby of Pointe Claire, Que., smashed 六合彩开奖结果, Quebec university and Quebec club records en route to capturing gold in the 400-metre individual medley at the CIS swim championships in Vancouver, Thursday.

The 5-foot-7 electrical engineering freshman was clocked in four minutes, 11.42 seconds, to become the first Redmen CIS gold medalist since 2007, when Ryan Tomicic of Aylmer, Que., won the 50 freestyle sprint. Bielby destroyed the seven-year-old 六合彩开奖结果 record of 4:19.56, set by Sylvain Lemieux in 2001 and beat the QSSF conference mark set last year by Laval鈥檚 Bruno Langlois (4:19.11). The CIS record is 4:02.72 was established in 2003 by Olympian Brian Johns of UBC.

"We thought his best chance for gold would be in the 1500m on Saturday because he was third in that event at the Olympic trials last year," said Francois Laurin, in his 24th season as head coach at 六合彩开奖结果. "But he swam a 六合彩开奖结果 record and personal best in the morning prelims (4:18.18) and we realized that he had a chance to win this event. He took the lead during the first 50 (metres) and never lost it.

"His goal was to qualify for the world university games next summer and he had to win to qualify. He had never won an event at any national competition, comes in as a freshman, was very focused and took control. Now he's a winner."

In what turned out to be the fastest night in CIS swimming history, half the races won were in Canadian record time as six national marks were set during the first evening of competition. A quartet of Olympians starred and established four individual national marks in the first six races and playing major roles on a pair of record-setting relay teams.

In the women鈥檚 team standings, the Calgary Dinos, looking for their first-ever CIS title, lead the race with 252 points. The host Thunderbirds, who have won the last 11 banners, a record in any CIS sports, are second with 196 points.

The Thunderbird men, who last year saw their record sequence of 10 straight titles come to an end, lead the competition with 274 points compared to 217 for the reigning national champion Dinos. 聽

The University of Toronto Varsity Blues are third in both team races.

Calgary rookie and 2008 Olympian Erica Morningstar started off the meet with a national record in the women鈥檚 200-metre freestyle (1:56.11) and was a key member of the Dinos 4 x 100 freestyle relay that set the fifth Canadian mark of the night two hours later with a time of 3:38.74. 聽

The first-year student from Regina led a 1-2-3-4 sweep for the Dinos in the 200 individual freestyle en route to erasing Sophie Simard鈥檚 national record of 1:56.14 and CIS championship mark of 1:57.10. Breanna Hendriks and Katy Murdoch earned second and third in the 200 and teamed with Morningstar and Seanna Mitchell for gold in the 4 x 100 free. 聽

鈥淚鈥檓 dying right now,鈥� an exhausted Morningstar said immediately following the race. 鈥淚鈥檓 really happy with the time. I was actually hoping to go a little faster. But all in all I鈥檓 happy I held it together.鈥�

UBC鈥檚 Scott Dickens, a 2004 Olympian, also notched a pair of Canadian records on Thursday.聽 His gold-medal time of 59.34 in the men鈥檚 100 breaststroke tied Morgan Knabe鈥檚 2002 national mark and bettered his own CIS championship record by more than half a second. Calgary鈥檚 Mike Brown, who took fourth place in the 200 breast at the Beijing Games, claimed silver in the event.

鈥淚鈥檓 pretty happy with the time but my goal was to go 58. I know I have that time in me I just need to work out the kinks in the race,鈥� a satisfied Dickens said after his first gold of the night.聽 鈥淏eing part of the T-Birds and getting to race at this meet is one of the best things about swimming. It鈥檚 all about the team and doing the most you can for your school.鈥�

The fifth-year star led out the Thunderbirds 4 x 100 freestyle relay with a swift 49.18 setting the stage for UBC鈥檚 national record of 3:15.42, erasing the old mark of 3:15.61 held by Olympians Mike Mintenko, Brian Johns, Mark Johnston, and Brent Hayden. The time was also more than two seconds ahead of the old CIS championship record of 3:17.53 held by UBC since 2003.

U of T鈥檚 Colin Russell, a 2008 Olympian and former star at Indiana University, was victorious in the men鈥檚 200 freestyle (1:43.31) taking down Rick Say鈥檚 2003 Canadian record of 1:43.68 in his first ever CIS race.聽 His time also bested Brian John鈥檚 old CIS championship standard of 1:44.47.

The record bull run also witnessed a stunning performance by UBC star and 2008 Olympian Annamay Pierse who led a 1-2-3 T-Bird sweep of the women鈥檚 100 metre breaststroke.聽 The fifth-year from Edmonton shattered her Canadian and CIS championship records with a world-class time of 1:05.16.聽 It was the third time Pierse has set a Canadian mark in the event since November 2008.

鈥淚 have been totally motivated by all the fast swimming going on here tonight,鈥� said Pierse after her jaw-dropping swim. 鈥淎ll of the records going down tonight is awesome for the sport and our country. I came to this meet pumped up and ready to go and it was great to swim so fast. I鈥檓 getting closer to where I want to be.鈥�

Not to be lost in all the fan fare tonight was T-Bird Callum Ng who was the biggest individual winner on the night, taking gold in the 50 backstroke (23.49) and 100 butterfly (52.74) and swimming on UBC鈥檚 record setting relay. It was Ng鈥檚 fifth consecutive triumph in the 50 back at the CIS championships and ends his CIS career undefeated in the event.

Calgary鈥檚 Hanna Kubas bested three-time CIS champion Jennifer Carroll in the women鈥檚 50 backstroke with a championships record of 27.48. Kubas won bronze two years ago, silver in 2008, and finally broke through with gold this evening. Carroll finishes her CIS career in the 50 back with three golds, one silver and a bronze to her credit

Also earning individual gold medals Thursday were Laval鈥檚 Pamela Filiatrault-Veilleux in the women鈥檚 100 butterfly (59.83), and UBC鈥檚 Hanna Pierse who defended her 400 individual medley title (4:41.58).

The three-day CIS meet resumes Friday morning with preliminaries starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time and finals at 6 p.m. Pacific.
