Mia West won bronze in the 200 yard IM at NCAA championships. Could be a name to keep an eye on this summer.

 

Also a pair of 4th places for Ella Jansen in the 500 yard freestyle and 400 yard IM.

 

 

 

Also last week, Alexanne Lepage broke the Canadian short course metre records in the 50m and 100m breaststroke at the USPORT championships.

Day 1 of the Canadian Open was today.

 

Oliver Dawson set a new PB in the 50m breaststroke going 27.46. That's just 0.01 shy of Scott Dickens Canadian record. Then in the 4x100m medley relay, he had a 59.05 split for Team Alberta .

 

Taylor Ruck won the women's 100m backstroke in 59.07. Good swim for her 3 months out from Canadian trials.

 

Also a decent swim from Ella Jansen in the 200m freestyle going 1:57.62. Just a bit off her best time.

Also a 53.80 for Ruck in the 100m freestyle. She's had a rough last few years, happy to see her finding some form.

That time falls just 0.68 seconds off a Canadian Record that is older than Dawson, and moves him up to 2nd in the all-time Canadian rankings, leapfrogging James Dergousoff. Dawson also demolishes his meet record of 2:12.82 from this morning.

He also moves up to 10th in the world this year, overtaking Leon Marchand.

What an insane sentence lol

Had a look at the historical rankings.

 

It looks like Dawson's 59.05 breaststroke split from yesterday's relay is a Canadian textile record. Only Mathieu Bois 58.86 split from the 2009 World Championships is faster and that was with a super suit. Richard Funk previously had the record with a 59.25 split.

 

Canadian Record in the individual 100m breaststroke is 59.85 from Scott Dickens. We could see that go down tomorrow.

If Kharun was still with Canada, we legit could have been a medal contender in the medley relay
