2023 CANADIAN SWIMMING TRIALS
The first night of racing at the 2023 Canadian Swimming Trials featured a surprising world record from Summer McIntosh who swam a 3:56.08 in the 400 freestyle. As racing gets started in Toronto on night two of the meet, we’ll be breaking down each race as we wait to find out if any new records will be broken tonight.
The first event will be the multi-class para 50 backstroke, followed by the women’s 50 backstroke and then the men’s. The Maggie MacNeil will take us into the 100 butterfly final, having swum a 57.30 during prelims. Canadian record holder and reigning world champ MacNeil will try to punch her ticket to Fukuoka tonight and if she wins, she could be joined by the #2 finisher. Katerine Savard swam the #2 time in the morning with a 58.17, which is under the FINA A cut of 58.17. Kamryn Cannings (58.73), Ella Jansen (59.22), and Rebecca Smith (59.59), however, were right on her tail and will be in the mix here as well.
Next up will be the men’s 100 butterfly, in which Josh Liendo reserved lane four for tonight’s final with his morning swim and Canadian record of 50.78. We’ll see if he has another national record in him tonight as he attempts to qualify for World Championships.
The session will end with two heats of distance in the women’s 1500 freestyle and the men’s 800, followed by the multi-class para 400 and 200 freestyles.
