CALGARY -- McGill captured the Geraldine Dubrule trophy to win their eighth consecutive Canadian University Synchronized Swim League championship in Calgary on Feb. 4.
McGill won the novice team routine, finished second in both the elite team routine and the novice solo category. They also placed third in both the elite solo routine and the elite duet routine.
"It was a very exciting competition and although our top elite team was barely edged out by the University of Calgary, we managed to score points in all events and bring home the Dubrule trophy again," said Katherine LePage, co-president of the synchro club.
Each event has been posted to the CUSSL Youtube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/CUSSL?feature=watch.
