MONTREAL -- Steven Bielby of Pointe Claire, Que., 听a 21-year-old electrical engineering honours student with the 香蕉视频 men's swim team, has been named as one of the 2010 Desjardins CIS Top Eight Academic All-Canadians.

It marks the 15th time in 17 years that a McGill student-athlete has been a recipient of this award, a list composed of nine women and six men.

Bielby, a 5-foot-8 middle distance specialist, was among a nation-high total of 135 McGill student-athletes who qualified for Academic All-Canadian status, for having maintained an academic average of 80 per cent or better over the school year while competing in a varsity sport. In 2009-10, a record 2,299 students achieved the prestigious status, eclipsing the previous mark of 2,256 set a year ago.

Other universities to surpass the century mark behind McGill included Laval (132), Alberta (128), Queen's (118) and Western Ontario (113). Rounding out the national top 10 were Dalhousie (97), Waterloo (92), Calgary (89), Guelph (85) and Saskatchewan (77).

Among these outstanding individuals, one female and one male student-athlete from each of the four CIS regional associations are selected annually as Desjardins Top Eight Academic All-Canadians in the country.

Bielby, who was voted Team MVP for the second straight year, won four medals at the 2010 CIS championship meet, including a gold medal (1500m freestyle), one silver (400 m IM) and a pair of bronzes (200 IM, 400 free). His time in the grueling 1500 free was 15 minutes, 22.71 seconds, a Quebec university record. Bielby's performance at Nationals earned all-Canadian honours and qualified him to compete at the 2010 Mare Nostrum Series, a high-profile European tour of World Cup meets.

In the classroom, he achieved a stellar 3.86 grade-point average out of 4.0, the equivalent of a 96.5 per cent academic average. He qualified for the Principal's student-athlete honour roll and received the Uldis Auders memorial award, presented to the McGill sophomore who best combines academics with athletics.

"I am incredibly proud of Steven's accomplishments and feel privileged to have the opportunity to coach him on a daily basis," said head coach Peter Carpenter. 听"It is always wonderful to see a hard worker rewarded for his efforts."

Joining Bielby as a recipient from the Quebec Student Sports Federation is Marie-Michelle Genois of Cap-Sant茅, Que., a basketball player and masters of biology student at Laval. Representing Atlantic University Sport are Alex Legge of Halifax, a basketball player and medicine student at Dalhousie, as well as Jacob Kilpatrick of Fredericton, a volleyball player and civil engineering student at UNB. The winners from Ontario University Athletics are Megan Brown of Guelph, Ont., a cross-country and track runner and physical education and health student at Toronto, as well as Dillon Heap of Waterloo, Ont., a football player and business student at Wilfrid Laurier. From the Canada West conference, this year's recipients are Jennifer Hinze of Vancouver, a volleyball player and cellular biology and genetics student at UBC, along with Thomas Hall of Winnipeg, at football player and kinesiology student at Manitoba.

"The high number of student-athletes who achieved 80 per cent reflects the commitment of coaches and athletics departments to ensure success in the classroom and playing field," said CIS chief executive officer, Marg McGregor.

"This year's Top Eight recipients have accomplished great things and symbolize the many outstanding student-athletes and universities across Canada. I look forward to hearing great things about them in the years to come as they graduate and become leaders in our communities."

Bielby is the first McGill male to win the Top Eight honour since swimmer Alexandre Pichette in 2003. Previous McGillians include the late Dr. Strachan Hartley, a two-time recipient in football (2002, 2001), Alex Hutchinson (track, 1996) and David O'Hara (cross-country, 1995).

McGill's previous female honourees include Jennifer Thomson (volleyball, 2008), Danielle Day (soccer, 2005), Carolyn McCabe (swimming, 2004), Sarah Ali-Khan (cross-country & track, 2002), Stephanie Welsh (track & field, 1999), Wendy Whelan (volleyball, 1998), Andrea Bacsfalusi (swimming, 1997),听 Anna Leong (swimming, 1996) and Julia Maughan (soccer, 1994).
