Grand'Maison, a member of the Martlets swim team, swam an unofficialÌý world record time in the S13 division for the visually impaired at a Canada Cup Grand Prix meet in Etobicoke, Ont., last weekend. The 21-year-old psychology and history sophomore was clocked in nine minutes, 29.86 seconds in the women's 800-metre freestyle. It surpassed her own mark of 9:34.55 established at the 2008 German Open in Berlin but was not considered to be a new world record as the meet was not sanctionedby the International Paralympic Committee. She attended College Andre-Grasset prior to enrolling at Â鶹AV last January.
