In the pool, the 5-foot-7 middle distance swimmer won four medals at a CIS championship meet, including a gold medal in the 1500-metre freestyle. His performance at Nationals earned all-Canadian honours and qualified him to compete at the Mare Nostrum Series, a high-profile European tour of World Cup meets, in June. Bielby, who was also named Team MVP, is the eighth swimmer to win the Auders trophy since it was introduced in 1982 in memory of Uldis Auders, a former quarterback with the Redmen, who did in a tragic mountain-climbing accident in Nepal.

Him-Lazarenko, a 22-year-old history and geography major in the faculty of education, received all-conference and Team MVP honours after bouncing back from a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament last year to finish second among Quebec leaders in both scoring (15.0 points per game) and rebounding (7.8 per game). She also become the first basketball player from a Quebec school to win the CIS Tracy MacLeod award (in 2009-10), which recognizes determination, perseverance and unwavering spirit.

Excluding two losses against boys midget squads, the Martlets posted a 35-5-0 mark overall against women's teams and were ranked No.1 the entire season in the weekly Top 10.
