Video Interview: Coleman Allen Talks CIS Victory And Trials

There was buzz on the pool-deck of a possible Canadian record in the 100m fly here in Victoria, and although that didn’t happen tonight, Coleman Allen’s performance did not disappoint.

Allen continued the theme tonight of run-away victories by creating a huge lead for himself as he continued to push towards the wall and eventually touch in at 53.21.

That time gave him the win by over a full second. Taking the silver was Gamal Assaad of Western with a time of 54.61. Rounding out the top three was Toronto’s Matt Dans, who was just behind Assaad, in 54.74.
