Welcome to the 3rd finals session of the 2026 Canadian Swimming Trials.
This morning’s prelims session was relatively quiet with most athletes cruising to their top seeds. The top swim of the morning came from Sophie Angus who dropped more than half-a-second in the 50 breaststroke prelims to swim 30.28, becoming the 2nd fastest Canadian in history in the event and scaring the 2009 Canadian Record of 30.23.
The biggest news after the prelims session was Summer McIntosh scratching the rest of the meet due to illness. That means she will not race the women’s 400 free final tonight, bumping Juliet Nicholson into the event. Ella Cosgrove will be the new top seed, just ahead of Ella Jansen in 2nd. There was another ‘A’ final scratch in 5th qualifier Madison Kryger.
Ethan Ekk earned the top seed in the men’s 400 free final, just ahead of Simon Fonseca and Lorne Wigginton, who is fresh off a Canadian record in the men’s 400 IM. Francis Brennan, who qualified 2nd overall, scratched the event final.
The women’s 100 fly will see Taylor Ruck as the top seed by almost a second over Leilani Flack, almost a new personal best time for Ruck, and under the AQUA ‘A’ standard.
Finlay Knox will lead the men’s 100 fly final by two tenths over Raben Dommann as the only two swimmers under 53 seconds in the event.
The meet will wrap up with the 50 breaststroke finals. Angus is the top seed on the women’s side ahead of SCM Canadian record holder Alexanne Lepage, and Oliver Dawson set the top time on the men’s side by three tenths over Javier Acevedo.
