New additions to the team from the final night of trials include Kelsey Wog, who won the 200 breast in a time of 2:24.87 and got under the FINA ‘A’ standard of 2:25.91. Yuri Kisil, who finished second in the 50 free with a time of 22.17, got under the FINA ‘A’ standard by just 0.01 seconds to book him a ticket to worlds.

In addition, Kayla Sanchez and Josh Liendo added an additional event to their worlds lineup when they both won the 50 free. Sanchez swam a time of 24.93, getting under the FINA ‘A’ standard of 25.04. Meanwhile, Liendo put up an incredible 21.63 to break Brent Hayden‘s supersuited Canadian Record from 2009. Not only does Liendo’s time qualify him for worlds, but it also gets him under the Commonwealth Games ‘A’ cut as well.

Although Katrina Bellio missed the FINA ‘A’ standard in the 800 free, her time of 8:38.90 to win the event is good enough to meet Canada’s secondary standard of 8:43.08, rendering her a spot on the worlds team as well.

Notably, Taylor Ruck, the 2018 Commonwealth champion in the 200 free, was not nominated onto the team this year. In addition, Ella Jansen, who is not on the worlds roster, has been named onto the Commonwealths roster.
