Call her Penny, call her Penelope, or call her phenom.<\/p>\n

At the Canadian Olympic & Para-swimming Trials, 15-year-old Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> won the women’s 100-metre freestyle in 53.31 seconds, the fourth-fastest time this season.<\/p>\n

It was also a world youth record, and the Toronto native’s second Canadian record set this week at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, where she trains. Oleksiak and 22-year-old Chantal van Landeghem<\/strong> (53.91) each qualified for Rio. Training partners Sandrine Mainville<\/strong> (54.14) and Ohio State alumna Michelle Williams<\/strong> (54.45) rounded out the top four to form Canada’s women’s 4 x 100 relay for Rio.<\/p>\n

Meantime, freestyler Brittany MacLean<\/strong> added the 800 to her repertoire by swimming 8:21.40, the third-fastest time of 2016, without a challenger to push her along. Breaststroker Kierra Smith<\/strong> had her second win of the week; her 2:23.91 was the season’s sixth-fastest 200 breast, while Martha McCabe<\/strong> clocked 2:25.13 to become a second-time Olympian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been pretty crazy \u2013 I say that every race, but I have the same feeling every race,\u201d Oleksiak told CBC Sports in a pool deck interview. \u201cI was just proud to do it with three girls that I train with every day [van Landeghem, Mainville and Williams] that I really, really look up to. That just makes it all the more special.\u201d<\/p>\n

All four work with coach Ben Titley<\/strong> at Swimming Canada’s High Performance Centre-Ontario in Toronto. The national body has also stepped up its investment in relays; the women’s 4 x 100 was 11th in London.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been our goal all year for the four of us to make it,\u201d Williams said. \u201cThis is kind of a stepping stone to something really big.\u201d<\/p>\n

MacLean, 22, burned through a 61-second final 100 metres. The recent Georgia Bulldog grad will have four events in Rio, with the other two freestyles and a 4 x 200 relay.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been a long week of racing, but this is what I need to get used to going into Rio,\u201d said MacLean, who was nearly 17 seconds ahead of the silver medalist, 16-year-old Olivia Anderson<\/strong> (8:38.34, short of qualifying). \u201cI’m really honoured that I get to compete in a lot of events this time around. I think I can bring out a little more this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s really nice to know that I am back in my fast swimming ways,\u201d added MacLean, who missed the 2015 Pan Am Games and world championships due to hip and shoulder woes.<\/p>\n

Smith and McCabe reprised their Pan Am Games duel, with the Minnesota Golden Gophers senior pulling away in the third and fourth lengths.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt a lot less pressure than I did in the 100,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI just wanted to get as close to 2:20 as I could. I am just really happy with the times right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCabe, who was fifth in 200 back in London, fended off a spirited challenge from incoming University of Manitoba freshman Kelsey Wog<\/strong> to get the second spot.<\/p>\n

No man made the mark in men’s 100 butterfly or 200 backstroke after Santo Condorelli<\/strong> was disqualified from the latter. Condorelli swam 52.32, .04 shy of the Canadian 100 butterfly record, but was ruled to have made a non-simultaneous touch during a turn.<\/p>\n

Jeremie Dezwirek<\/strong> won men’s 200 back in 1:58.31, less than a tenth of a second short of the mark of 1.58.22.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> will try to seal his Rio ticket in men’s 1,500 freestyle. In women’s 200 backstroke, formers worlds medalist Hilary Caldwell<\/strong>, Dominique Bouchard<\/strong>, Phoenix-based 15-year-old Taylor Ruck<\/strong> and University of Toronto standout Kylie Masse<\/strong> come in with the four fastest seed times. Masse and Bouchard have already qualified in the 100.<\/p>\n

Twenty-year-old Luke Reilly<\/strong> owns the fastest men’s 200 individual medley seed time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
