Good morning everyone! I hope that this fine Saturday morning finds you with a good cup of coffee (if that’s your thing) and ready for another fast day of swimming at the 2024 Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Trials.

I hope that you’re awake because if we’re going by the session timeline–perhaps naively–then this session should clock in at just an hour and a half long, so it’s going to blitz by.
First up, we’ll be on record watch for both the women’s and men’s para 100 backstrokes. Both Jaime Cosgriffe and Reid Maxwell have already taken down Canadian Para records in their respective classifications already this meet, so they are clearly on form. Maxwell has already broken the Canadian Para S8 record once this year, bringing it to 1:09.48 this spring.
The women’s 200 butterfly will feature Canadian and world junior record holder Summer McIntosh. She scratched the 100 freestyle yesterday, so she’s had a day of rest between now and her world record in the 400 IM. She won’t show her cards this morning, but look for her to position herself well to put the hammer down in finals.
The last two prelims events are the men’s 200 IM and 50 freestyle. In the former, we’ll get a look at Finlay Knox in his signature event; he’s already likely earned a spot on the Olympic team via his first place in the 100 breast (for the medley relay) and third in the 100 freestyle, but he could earn an individual berth in finals.
Knox has been swimming well this week and so have Josh Liendo and Ilya Kharun, who we’ll see in the 50 freestyle. Both have already punched thier tickets to Paris as well. Liendo matched his 100 freestyle personal best en route to winning the 100 freestyle; he owns the Canadian record in the 50, so we could be back on record watch for this event in finals as well.
