The senior Economics and French major brought her career at the OUA Championships to an emphatic close this past weekend, setting two new OUA records and winning four individual medals at the conference event, while contributing to two medal-winning relays.
Chow broke the previous OUA record in the 100m breast stroke event during the preliminary swim on Thursday’s day one of the championships, improving on her own mark later that night to win gold in a time of 1:08.44.
She achieved the same effect at 50m on day three, improving on a record set in prelims to win gold in 31.26.
The Surrey, BC native added a silver medal in the 200m race, and a silver in the 200m individual medley, while teaming up with Veronica Nichol, Cailyn Eley and Carleen Ginter to win silver in the 400m medley relay and Eley, Hannah Dvorski and Sarah Little to win bronze in the 200m edition.
Chow’s six-medal performance helped the McMaster women to team bronze at the championships, and was recognized with an OUA Graduating Athlete of Distinction award following competition Saturday.
