Good evening everyone — after an intruiging prelims, it’s time for the first finals session at the 2024 Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Trials. The session kicks off with the men’s 400 freestyle, which Lorne Wigginton, the top seed after prelims (3:50.07), has scratched. That leaves Eric Brown (3:53.03) to lane 5, with Ethan Ekk seeded about three-tenths behind him.

It’s the Summer McIntosh show in the women’s 400 freestyle. The 17-year-old kicked off her busy Olympic Trials schedule with a 4:09.83 in prelims, coasting to the top time of the morning. McIntosh is the former world record holder in the event; she was the only one in the field sub-4:12 in the morning, so don’t be surprised if this turns into a race against the clock for McIntosh.

Like McIntosh, Maggie MacNeil is aiming to secure a bid to her second Olympic Games this evening. MacNeil put up a 56.54 in 100 fly prelims, setting herself apart from the field with the swim of the morning. That’s her fastest swim since the 2023 World Championships.

To close out the session, there’s a tight race brewing in the men’s 100 breast final. Reigning world champion Finlay Knox put up the fastest time of the morning (1:00.97). He’s sitting just ahead of Gabe Mastromatteo, Apollo Hess, and Brayden Taivassalo. That trio are separated by .23 seconds coming out of prelims. All three will be looking to bridge the gap to Knox and get their hands on the wall either first or second.
