We made a move halfway through the first lap, trying to put pressure on the rest of the group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Masse-Savard also held the lead for his entire 5-km race. He had to fend off Peru\u2019s Piera Nascimento at the finish to secure gold.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey touched out Peruvian Fanny Sanchez by 0.2 seconds in the junior women\u2019s 2.5-km in a very close finish that saw Marianne Rheaume and Marit Anderson finish third and fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Three-time Olympian Horner battled through a kick in the face to win the senior women\u2019s 5-km. Breanne Siwicki finished third in the 5-km. Both will represent Canada at next month\u2019s FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that we raced in four races and come away with four golds. We had numerous strategies that we wanted to work on, and I\u2019m exceptionally pleased that everyone racing had listened to the things they had been taught and tried out new ways of racing. Everything I saw today was a really good learning experience for our team\u201d said Mark Perry, Swimming Canada Open Water\/Distance Coach.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 UANA Pan American Open Water Swimming Championships conclude Monday. Eleven Canadians are racing over the four days of competition in the Cayman Islands.<\/p>\n<p>Horner and Masse-Savard finished third in Saturday\u2019s Flowers One Mile Sea Swim after teaming with \u00c9douard B\u00e9langer and Siwicki to finish second in the 5000-m relay Friday. Canada kicked off the championships with gold for the junior team of Katelnikoff, Dommann, Anderson and Rheaume in the 2500-m relay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/preview.regattatiming.com\/backoffice\/webpages\/raceResults.jsp?raceId=428\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/preview.regattatiming.com\/backoffice\/webpages\/raceResults.jsp?raceId%3D428&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1497299204567000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEegOzAY3GVTF3dX8dZsc239VC1cA\">Click here for full results<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Press release courtesy of Swimming Canada<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Canada was golden again on day three of the UANA Open Water Championships, with wins in all four races.
