McIntosh wins four races in Canadian Open tune-up – Winnipeg Free Press

TORONTO – Summer McIntosh closed out her inaugural Speedo Canadian Open on Saturday with her fourth victory in as many nights.

The 17-year-old Olympian and four-time world champion from Toronto won the women's 200m individual medley in 2:08.19. It completed the six-event program at the meet, which is set for next month's Olympic and Paralympic trials.

“I'll continue to work on back-to-back races and more races on the sprint side. I'm a middle distance swimmer in general, but developing my speed and finishing the race as well as possible is something I learned a lot at this meet,” McIntosh said.

Ashley McMillan of the Ontario High Performance Center was second in 2:12.85.

On the para swimming side, Ian Tan of Oakville Aquatic Club swam a Canadian S7 record of 32.82 in the 50m freestyle. That was enough to win the multi-class race as he knocked off Daniel Dorris' two-year-old mark. Ajax Aquatic Club's Jessica Tinney added a new national record (SM5) of 4:30.46 in the 200m IM.

In another event at the Toronto Pan-Am Sports Center on Saturday, Kelsey Vogue of the Manitoba Bisons won the women's 200m breaststroke in 2:24.91 as she looks to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics at next month's trials.

Waugh had mixed feelings about his victory.

“I've been doing a lot of good training and exercise. “It's good to come here to compete and improve a few skills leading up to the challenge,” said the 25-year-old Olympian.
