VICTORIA, British Columbia, April 5. AFTER dropping the Canadian record in the women’s 100-meter fly last night, Katerine Savard threw down a sizzling back half in the women’s 200-meter fly for her second gold of the Canadian Nationals.
Savard posted a winning time of 2:07.61 to down the meet record of 2:07.86 set by Audrey Lacroix back in 2009. Her time shot her to third in the world this year, behind only Madeline Groves (2:06.81) and Ellen Gandy (2:07.06) as Savard is still shooting for a 2:06 this summer.
Canadian record-holder Lacroix, who posted a 2:05.85 back in 2009 for the national record, picked up the second spot on the Pan Pacific squad with a second-place time of 2:08.84. That swim bettered her previous season best of 2:09.18 from the Arena Grand Prix in Austin.
Brenna MacLean finished third overall in 2:13.21, while Noemie Thomas notably had a fly and die situation. She went out hard, touching first in 1:01.20, before winding up eighth overall in 2:17.61.
