Joshua Liendo<\/strong> added another A cut to his haul at Canadian Olympic Trials, hitting the A standard exactly at 22.01 to take the top seed at prelims Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Liendo led the field to the wall with his time, which marked a cut of .28 off his previous best. Liendo also qualified to swim in Tokyo in the 100 butterfly this week at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, and he\u2019ll likely swim on the men\u2019s 400 free relay.<\/p>\n

Second to Liendo was Brent Hayden,<\/strong> 19 years his senior. Hayden was second near in 22.09, setting up what should be a sensational evening race. Hayden already has the A cut in the event at 21.97 from May.<\/p>\n

Yuri Kisil<\/strong> is third in 22.34, the only other swimmer under 22.5 and the third day of the five-day meet.<\/p>\n
