Canadian Nationals Results: Richard Funk Dominates to Win 200 Breast

VICTORIA, British Columbia, April 2. AFTER exceptional performances at the NCAA championships while representing the University of Michigan, Richard Funk posted a lifetime best to win the 200 breast title handily at the Canadian long course nationals.

Funk’s 2:12.90 beat his personal best of 2:13.90 but won’t be enough to get him automatically on the international roster. Canada set the standard at 2:11.71, which was the 16th-fastest time at last year’s world championships. Funk, as with many others who just missed qualifying, could get on the roster if they meet lower criteria set by Swimming Canada.

Tying for second place were Mack Darragh and Evan White, who were well off Funk’s pace with matching times of 2:15.40. Coincidentally, Darragh and White are teammates for the Oakville Swim Club.
