Three-time Olympian Johns enters CW Hall of Fame
Standout UBC swimmer captured 33 gold medals in 34 career university races
VANCOUVER - Brian Johns was as close to perfect in a university pool as you can come, winning 33 of the 34 races he competed in while at UBC during the early 2000s.
Johns was named Wednesday as the latest inductee in the Canada West Hall of Fame.
Part of UBC's swimming dynasty, the individual medley standout was a star for the Thunderbirds beginning in 2001. A three-time CIS Male Swimmer of the Year (2002, 2003, 2007), Johns won every race but one while at UBC. He was the 2002 BLG Award winner as Canada's top male student-athlete.
