Brock University was the host for the first deBray Divisional Swimming Championships, held November 28th-29th. The competition is named in honor of long-time Badger swim coach Herb deBray, now retired, who was inducted into the Swim Ontario Hall of Fame in 2015. Herb was on hand to award the winning team banners on Sunday.

Seven Ontario schools fielded teams in the final competition of the fall. The Divisional Championships serve as a pre-cursor to the OUA Championships in February. Team winners were Laurentian on the Women's side, with Waterloo taking the Men.

Leading the way for the Brock Badgers was perennial standout Rachel Nogard, a third year ConCurrent Education student from Hamilton. Rachel took three gold, in the 100m and 200m Butterfly events as well as the 400m Freestyle; and added a Silver in the 50m Backstroke. Both the 100m Butterfly and 50m Backstroke set new school records. Rachel becomes the first Badger swimmer of the season to qualify for the Canadian University Championships in February 2016.

Incoming first-year swimmer Jessie MacLean of Toronto was also a standout for the host Badgers. Jessie took Silver in the 50m Freestyle and Bronze in the 100m distance. Jessie's 50 time was also a new school record for the Badgers, breaking a record that has stood since 1991.

MacLean and Nogard then combined with Amileigh du Toit 1st year, Oakville) and Caroline Gomba (1st year, Pickering) to collect Silver in the 400 Freestyle Relay to end the competition.

On the Men's side, Curtis Li (3rd year, Oakville) collected Bronze for the Badgers in the 50m Breaststroke.

Also notching top-8 finishes were du Toit, Elise Funk, Brittany Lewis, Sarah Maddock, and Charles Kim.
