After day five of racing at the at the 2025 Canadian Swimming Trials, Lorne Wigginton and Madison Kryger have added their names onto the Team Canada World Championships roster.

Wigginton qualified after finishing second in the men’s 400 IM, where he clocked an ‘A’ cut time of 4:13.40. He was in a neck-and-neck race with Tristian Jankovics, the event winner in a time of 4:13.15. He was already qualified on the worlds team with an ‘A’ cut in the 200 IM and put a second event on his resume.

Kryger made the team in the 200 back, where she won in a time of 2:09.88. For Kryger, who is just 16 years old, that time is a near-one second improvement from her previous best of 2:11.44 coming into the meet. The second-place finisher in 200 back was Ingrid Wilm, who added the event to her lineup alongside the 50 back.

Meanwhile, Summer McIntosh (4:23.65) and Mary-Sophie Harvey (4:35.56) both qualified for the women’s 400 IM and will now be racing their fifth and fourth individual events at worlds respectively. McIntosh’s mark was a world record.

In the men’s 200 back, it was Ethan Ekk (1:56.54) and Blake Tierney (1:57.04) who got under the ‘A’ cut, with Ekk breaking a Canadian record. Both Ekk and Tierney were priority three swimmers by winning the 400 free and 50 back respectively, but their ‘A’ cut times in the 200 back make them guaranteed qualifers and put them in priority one.
