Canadian Nationals Results: Genevieve Cantin Snatches 200 Back Title In Final Stroke

VICTORIA, British Columbia, April 4. HILARY Caldwell had no pressure in the final of the 200 backstroke at the Canadian long course nationals, with her bronze medal from last year’s world championships giving her automatic selection for the Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacific games rosters.

The only requirement for Caldwell tonight was to place in the top three, and she did barely did that, beating out Dominique Bouchard for the chance to race the world’s best this summer.

Sinead Russell looked like she was on pace to sweep the backstrokes, but Genevieve Cantin had other plans. Cantin has been a longtime contender in Canadian racing, and got a lifetime best with a 2:09.40. Russell was second with a 2:09.58 while Caldwell was third with a 2:10.11 to Bouchard’s 2:10.18.

The top four swimmers all rank in the top 10 in the world, with Cantin sitting fifth so far in 2014.
