Female Athlete of the Week – Hannah Genich, Toronto Varsity Blues, Swimming

Fourth-year veteran Hannah Genich earned OUA Female Swimmer of the Year honours in leading the Varsity Blues to their seventh straight provincial title this past weekend

The Cobourg, Ont., native was unmatched in the butterfly events, touching the wall first in all three races in the discipline. She earned the gold in the 50m with a time of 26.79, grabbed the win in the 100m in 58.18, and finished off the triumvirate with a winning time of 2:09.10 in the 200m. In the latter, she was able to earn the OUA grand slam and break her own record. She would add to her impressive medal haul in the relays, helping her Varsity Blues top the podium in both the 200 and 800 freestyle events.

A four-time OUA first team all-star, Genich capped off the competition with a gold-medal finish in the 200m individual medley (2:11.70) – her seventh gold medal of the championship - and a fitting end to what was a phenomenal weekend of swimming.
