Looks like Mac Neil gets the spot in the 100 free

Also, as few other changes

Harvey dropped the 100 fly, but adds the 400 free
Smith will take that spot in the 100 fly
McIntosh dropped the 200 free

Harvey entered in the 400 free makes no sense to me at all. Why would she scratch the 100fly to enter an event 4x the distance when the 4x100m freestyle relay is the same day?

I've been thinking about what a bizarre choice this was all day. I feel like the 4x100m relay is on the bubble of getting a medal and they'll do something silly to lose the medal chances.

Complete bizarre decision

I don't think they have high hopes for a medal in the womens 4x100 free

Yes, it’s been confirmed for quite a while now if you look through the Swimming Canada Olympic nomination procedure. It states something along the lines of “if you have the OQT and finish top two at Trials, then you can race in that event at the Olympics”

Gold for Aidan Norman in the 100m backstroke at Junior Pan Pacs!

[Topicmaster1010 4,201]

 

5 medals on night one of Junior Pan Pacs:

 

• Silver for Ethan Ekk in the Boys 200m Freestyle (1:48.76)
• Bronze for Madison Kryger in the Girls 100m Backstroke (1:00.69)
• Gold for Aiden Norman in the Boys 100m Backstroke (54.10, lead off mixed medley relay in 53.86!)
• Silver for Julia Strojnowska in the Girls 1500m Freestyle (16:37.72)
• Silver in the Mixed Medley Relay (3:49.91)

 

 

Keep in mind that Canada only won 3 medals at the 2022 edition (including not winning any gold medals) so we've already passed that performance on night 1.
