Cancelmo has made huge progress in the event this season. He entered the year with a lifetime best of a 2:03.85. He already improved upon that time a month ago posting a 2:02.13 and then breaking the 2:00 mark for the first time with a 1:59.53 at the Pacific Northwest Senior Championships. That swim had sat him at #23 in the age group. He still has another year in the age group to move up from #9 as well.
