Women\u2019s 100 Back<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Kylie Masse <\/b>improved on her near-world record swim from this morning tonight, touching in 58.16 to drop .03 off her prelims time. That improved her #1 ranked time in the world that unseated\u00a0Kathleen Baker<\/strong>, was had the previous fastest time for 2019 with a 59.05 in Marseilles. That is just .06 off of Masse’s Canadian record from 2017 Worlds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Baker now sits at #3 in 2019, as Taylor Ruck\u00a0<\/strong>powered to a strong second place swim of 58.55 to move to #2 in the world. That improves Ruck’s previous best by about half a second. The duo will definitely be two to watch heading into World Championships this summer, as they give Canada the only two swimmers under 59 seconds in this event so far this year. Also under a minute in third was Jade Hannah\u00a0<\/strong>(59.89).<\/p>\n

Kierra Smith<\/strong>, who had the #3 time in the world heading into this meet, initially looked to be the top finisher in this event tonight, but shortly after the finish it was announced she was DQ’ed in the final. Smith was the second seed after prelims with a 2:26.16.<\/p>\n
 Sydney Pickrem <\/strong>and\u00a0Kelsey Wog\u00a0<\/strong>were neck and neck behind Smith, and ended up as the top two finishers after Smith’s DQ. The two were within two-tenths of one another to both drop significantly from this morning. Pickrem ended up taking gold in 2:22.63, while Wog was second in 2:22.82. Those are the #1 and #2 ranked times in the world for this year, knocking off American Annie Lazor\u00a0<\/strong>who previously held the #1 spot with a 2:22.99.<\/p>\n
Both of those times are well under the FINA A standard, giving them both spots on Canada’s World Championship roster. The two were well ahead of the rest of the field, as bronze went to\u00a0Mary-Sophie Harvey\u00a0<\/strong>who was nearly five seconds behind (2:27.41).<\/p>\n
