It was a busy \u2013 and profitable \u2013 night for Kylie Masse<\/strong> as she and two of Canada\u2019s other top swimmers took part in the FINA Champions Series in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Masse tied for the win in the 50-m backstroke, her time of 28.20 equaling Russian Anastasiia Fesikova<\/strong> for the glass star trophy and $10,000 prize awarded to winners at the new series, which launched earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised. It was nice to get the tie, the win I guess. The time was OK. The 50 isn\u2019t really my best event, I just kind of spin my arms and see what I can do,\u201d said Masse, the world champion in the 100-m backstroke.<\/p>\n

More Champions Series coverage here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> and Sydney Pickrem<\/strong> were also in action as the Indiana University Natatorium hosted the third and final leg of the Champions Series. The fast-paced format featured 15 four-lane finals Friday, with only the best of the best swimmers invited and prize money based on order of finish.<\/p>\n

Masse opened the night with a third-place finish in the 200-m backstroke in 2:07.59.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I had a strong 150. The last 50 I think I couldn\u2019t really get my stroke rate any higher. I was kind of feeling a bit dull, but things to work on. It\u2019s in season and building towards worlds , so I\u2019m happy with that time right now,\u201d Masse said.<\/p>\n

She also had her name pulled to swim the mixed 4×100-m freestyle relay. The backstroker rolled over on to her front to anchor her team to second place. American Ryan Murphy<\/strong> and Brazilians Nicholas Santos<\/strong> and Etiene Medeiros<\/strong> join her in splitting a purse of $12,000, bringing Masse\u2019s total to $19,000 US for the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really fun, swimming with people you wouldn\u2019t necessarily swim against or swim with ever. It was really fun, we were laughing and it keeps it light.<\/p>\n

Pickrem also got into action as a participant in the mixed relay, teaming with Americans Jack Conger, Cody Miller<\/strong> and Hali Flickinger<\/strong> to finish third and pick up her share of an $8,000 team prize.<\/p>\n

The teams are picked at random, meaning Olympic 100 free champion Oleksiak was left out this time, while backstroker Masse and medley swimmer Pickrem got a chance to show what they could do.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really fun. We were joking about it all day because I wasn’t even going to swim today because the 200 (individual medley) is tomorrow,\u201d Pickrem said with a laugh. \u201cI just wanted to channel Penny Oleksiak. I told Ben (Titley, Penny\u2019s coach at the High Performance Centre \u2013 Ontario) I\u2019ll be Penny and I think I\u2019m going to get in your group after this 100 free.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oleksiak, meanwhile, finished third in the 100-m butterfly in 58.44, and added a fourth-place finish in the 100 free at 54.22 to tally $11,000 in prize money.<\/p>\n

Between them, the 50 swimmers in Indianapolis, representing 15 countries, have won 54 Olympic medals and 146 FINA World Championship medals. While Oleksiak competed at the second leg in Budapest earlier this month, it was the first time for Masse and Pickrem. With no morning heats or evening semifinals, the pace moves along briskly, with races interspersed with in-house entertainment. The estimated crowd of 1,500 enjoyed loud music, light shows, and performances from the Indiana Fever WNBA dance squad, IU cheerleaders, and Indiana Pacers NBA mascot Boomer and High Octane Drumline.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty sweet, I think it\u2019s neat to have this type of atmosphere and environment,\u201d Masse said. \u201cA lot of other sports, when you get to this level, it is a big show and a big spectacle, so for swimming to be able to be moving in that direction, I think it\u2019s fantastic for the sport and I\u2019m happy to be in it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all just came in like, \u2018What is this going to be like?\u2019 It\u2019s really inspiring to be around people that are all kind of at your type of level,\u201d added Pickrem, the 400-m IM world bronze medalist. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to see and be with everyone driving toward the same goals, and just swimming and racing against them.\u201d<\/p>\n
