 Maggie McNeil swam a new Short Course World Cup record to take the W 100m Fly in 54.78 (just 19/100 of a second slower than Kelsi Dahlia's WR).

Yesterday she was followed by  Louise Hansson in a very fast 55.02 in one of the best races of the night.

 Beata Nelson almost broke the 2-minute mark in the W 200m Back, winning the race in 2.00.50 ahead of  Kylie Masse and  Summer McIntosh (both on the 2.02.X mark).

 Shaine Casas took another gold in the M 100m Back in a SCWC record breaking time of 48.84 (half a second behind the WR).

 Ruta Meilutyte beat  Lilly King also in the W 100m Breast, but this time with no unforgettable clocking (28.96 to 29.20).

 Siobhan Haughey won the W 100m Free. She outsprinted  Beryl Gastaldello and  Katarzyna Wasick (51.33 the winning time for the woman from HKG, also below the 52-sec mark the other girls on the podium).

the M 200m Free was the top race of the night, with an amzing finish where 5 men ended up in a 14/100 of a sec span.

 Brooks Curry eventually came up on top of a  clean sweep, followed by teammates Trenton Julian and Kieran Smith (1.42.32, 1.42.35 and 1.42.45 the times of the first 3 guys).  Matthew Sates and  Danas Rapsys finished the race tied in 4th place, just 1/100 of a sec behind the bronze medallist.

finally, Beata Nelson earned herself the title of MVP of the session by winning also the final race, the W 200m IM, in 2.05.08, edging out a bunch of  Canadian girls led by Sydney Pickrem (2.05.23) and Summer McIntosh (2.06.57).

7:57.42 and new WR for Ledecky in the 800 FR. She fell off in the last 400, but still got it. Not an unreachable mark like in the 1500, it may be broken in the future. McIntosh did a great time for an off event for her.
