Canada’s Summer McIntosh had another record-breaking performance Thursday.
McIntosh, 16, broke her national senior and world junior record in the women’s 200-metre butterfly at the 2023 Pro Swim Series competition.
The Toronto native and reigning world champion clocked in at two minutes, 5.05 seconds, surpassing her previous mark of 2:05.20 from the 2022 worlds.
American Bella Sims was second (2:09.09) and Mexico’s Maria Jose Mata Cocco placed third (2:11.00). Calgary’s Kamryn Cannings finished fifth with a personal-best time of 2:13.33.
On the men’s side, Montreal’s Ilya Kharun broke the national record in the 200 butterfly, clocking 1:54.49 en route to victory.
That eclipsed the previous mark of 1:56.27 set by Mack Darragh in 2018.
