By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Taylor Ruck<\/strong> led off, and Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> went second. At the halfway point of the women\u2019s 400 free relay final, the Canadian women were already ahead by almost three seconds, a gold medal all but secured\u2014even if Oleksiak hadn\u2019t swum quite as fast\u00a0as she sometimes does.<\/p>\n

The 3.5-second win marked Canada\u2019s fourth in a relay this week. Yes, the Canadians have entered four relays at the World Junior Championships, and they have won all of them.<\/p>\n

Sure, Oleksiak and Ruck have been the catalysts behind this Canadian gold rush, just as they propelled their country to two free relay medals at the Olympics last summer. But look beyond their flash, and it\u2019s clear how much ripe young talent belongs to this Canadian women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

So far this week in Indianapolis, Canada\u2019s women have won eight individual medals. Oleksiak and Ruck have combined to win one of those\u2014Ruck\u2019s silver in the 100 back.<\/p>\n

The other seven medals? Those have come from the likes of Faith<\/strong> Knelson<\/strong>, Rebecca Smith<\/strong>,\u00a0Kayla Sanchez<\/strong> and Jade<\/strong> Hannah<\/strong>. And it\u2019s not like these have been fluky swims or weak events\u2014the times they\u2019ve put up have been world-class, not just for their age.<\/p>\n

Knelson won a silver medal in the 50 breast in 30.9, and two days later she won another silver in the 100 breast, posting a time of 1:07.47. That 100 breast moved Knelson into the top 30 in the world this year, and she ranks third among Canadians.<\/p>\n

Oh, and she\u2019s 15 and coming off about as poor of a year health-wise one could have.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had two hip injuries, and I had mononucleosis for a month and a half, so honestly I didn\u2019t even think I would do well at our Trials,\u201d Knelson said. \u201cI think I would owe it the most to my coach and my team\u2014they\u2019ve really just supported me throughout it. Being here with Team Canada, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to win it without them and all their support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanchez, meanwhile, has won a bronze in the 50 free and a silver in the 200 IM\u2014where her time of 2:12.64 would have been quick enough to make the semi-finals at the World Championships, while Smith picked up a bronze in the 50 fly<\/p>\n

Those two have also been key figures on both of Canada\u2019s women\u2019s free relay wins\u00a0along with Oleksiak and Ruck\u2014and all of them swim together in Ben Titley\u2019s<\/strong> group at the High-Performance Center in Toronto.<\/p>\n

For all the relay medals and all the individual success, the only major honor that had evaded Canada this week had been individual gold\u2014until Jade Hannah tied for the top spot in the 50 back Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Hannah, also 15, had broken 1:00 for the first time when she won bronze in the 100 back behind the USA\u2019s Regan Smith and Ruck, and she got to the wall in the one-lap race at exactly the same time as Japan\u2019s Natsumi<\/strong> Sakai<\/strong>: 27.93.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt meant so much to me,\u201d Hannah said. \u201cIt was so exciting to be able to have the first (individual) gold medal for Team Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minutes after the 50 back win, Ruck, Oleksiak, Smith and Sanchez stepped up for the 400 free relay, and to the surprise of no one, they dominated.<\/p>\n

After the women received their medals, they met Knelson under the diving towers. Knelson had swum on the relay in prelims before giving way to Smith in the final, so the four finals swimmers placed each of their medals around Knelson\u2019s neck and stuffed their flower bouquets into her hands.<\/p>\n

Smith explained that this year\u2019s team is one of the smaller squads Canada has ever sent to the World Junior meet but that the group has developed a strong bond. Oleksiak added that the standard has been raised\u2014medals, even gold medals, are the expectation rather than the exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think my favorite thing about this meet is, when someone doesn\u2019t win gold from Team Canada, they come back and they\u2019re annoyed,\u201d Oleksiak said. \u201cI think it\u2019s because everyone here wants to do so well, and everyone wants to get the gold and represent Canada the best they can. Just seeing that they\u2019re getting disappointed from not being the best, it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The standard was set with Oleksiak\u2019s Olympic gold medal in the 100 free in Rio and the other five medals the Canadian women won at that meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all want to represent Canada the best we can, and we all want to really show what we can do,\u201d Oleksiak said. \u201cTo have people on the podium is already crazy, and to have people winning is even better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Canadian women are not a massive squad that will overwhelm other countries with their depth in every stroke, every discipline, but they\u2019ve developed some major strengths in key events.<\/p>\n

Sanchez has reinforced a strong IM group that already included Sydney Pickrem<\/strong> and Erica<\/strong> Seltenreich-Hodgson,<\/strong> and Canada now has three sub-1:00 100 backstrokers with Ruck and Hannah joining world record-holder Kylie<\/strong> Masse\u00a0<\/strong>in that elite group.<\/p>\n

On the final day of World Juniors, Canada will roll out a medley relay team with Ruck swimming free or back, Oleksiak on fly and Knelson on breaststroke, and it would be no surprise to see that trio on a medal-contending medley relay at the next Olympics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s the free relays that have become Canada\u2019s signature events, and the ascendance of Sanchez and Smith comes at a time when Brittany MacLean<\/strong> has retired and Chantal Van Landeghem<\/strong> and Sandrine Mainville<\/strong> have yet to commit themselves to training through Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Oleksiak will still be the superstar, while Ruck has reminded the world how much talent she has, and Masse, you may remember, set a world record last month.<\/p>\n

The Canadian women\u2019s team that shows up in Tokyo will surely include many of the names that have excelled in Indy this week, and those ladies have talent that could garner a large haul of Olympic medals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
