The much-touted Pontiac Wave world record bounty proved to be helpful as Annamay Pierse edged Leisel Jones' world record in the 200 breast to earn herself a brand new vehicle. Pierse clocked a time of 2:17.50 to beat the 2:17.75 Jones posted in 2003 in Melbourne. For full coverage of the world-record breaking swim, click here<\/a>. Notably, Martha McCabe (2:23.05) and Haylee Johnson (2:23.40) finished second and third. Additionally, Pierse's sister Hanna placed fourth in 2:25.74.<\/p>\n

Erica Morningstar came up just a bit short of her national record in the women's 200 IM with a winning time of 2:09.75 to open the evening. Morningstar set the current standard with a time of 2:09.12 last month. Paige Schultz placed second in 2:11.72, while Genevieve Saumur finished third in 2:12.36.<\/p>\n

Brian Johns followed in the men's 200 IM with a Canadian record of 1:55.19. The effort clipped his 2003 standard of 1:55.46. Keith Beavers finished second just behind in 1:55.98, while Andrew Ford touched third in 2:00.05.<\/p>\n

Savannah King and Tanya Hunks were neck-and-neck heading into the final 100 meters with both posting 7:19s at the 700-meter mark in the women's 800 free. King, however, had more in the tank as she ripped off an 8:19.99 with Hunks taking second in 8:22.29. Both swims eclipsed the 2003 national record of 8:23.97 previously held by Brittany Reimer. Notably, Barbara Jardin completed the top three in 8:35.10.<\/p>\n

After setting the national record with a 24.68 during prelims, Victoria Poon wound up just getting her hand on the wall first in the women's 50 free with a time of 24.97 during finals. Marie-Pier Ratelle placed second in 25.20 with Chantal Vanlandeghem taking third in 25.35. Poon's prelim time broke the previous record of 24.84 set by Morningstar in 2007.<\/p>\n

Brent Hayden completed a big revision of the Canadian men's 50 free record with two progressions throughout prelims and finals. Heading into the day, Hayden's top time had been a 21.91 set back in 2006. Hayden then blasted a 21.51 during prelims before finishing the day with a 21.34 for the splash-and-dash title. Matt Rose placed second in 21.88, under the record heading into the day, and Joe Bartoch took third in 22.06.<\/p>\n

Scott Dickens had the difficult challenge of following Pierse's world-record party during the men's 200 breast finale. Dickens just missed the national record with a winning 2:07.24. Morgan Knabe's 2002 national standard of 2:07.15 remained on the books. Mathieu Bois took second in 2:09.34, while Marco Monaco finished third in 2:11.09.<\/p>\n

While at times way under his national-record pace during the men's metric mile, Ryan Cochrane settled with the national title in 14:39.80 during the 1500 free. Cochrane's record of 14:35.73 set in 2008 remained on the books. Hassaan Abdel-Khalik finished second in 14:57.11, while Craig Dagnall placed third in 15:04.43.<\/p>\n

The team of Katy Murdoch, Allison Long, Kirsten Weevers and Morningstar won the women's 400-yard medley relay with a national-record time of 4:03.51. The performance edged the former record of 4:04.20 set by the University of Calgary last month.<\/p>\n

The foursome of Matt Hawes, Dickens, Rory Biskupski and Hayden completed what proved to be a historic Canadian short course national meet with a national record of 3:31.48 in the men's 400-yard medley relay. The effort wiped out the 3:33.04 set by UBC last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
