Concordia swimmers at the Commonwealth Games

Two Concordia students were part of the action at last month’s Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. Brian Hill and Rhiannon Henry (at right) competed in the swimming events for athletes with a disability.

Henry came away with a fourth-place finish in the women’s 100-metre freestyle while setting new British records in her classification for her native Wales in the 50 and 100-metre events.

The two met at the 2003 International Blind Sport Association World Games in Quebec City. This past fall they decided to live and train together in Montreal.

Henry, who is studying human relations and French, and Hill, who studies English and history, will be taking a few summer courses to make up for the “break” they took for the winter semester to attend training camps and the Games.
