Swimming - World Juniors.

Looks like Taylor Ruck is back to good form after missing the WC team at Trials. Smashed the old 4x200 WJR by 5 seconds! Incredible show. All 4 girls sub 2:00 and Ruck / Oleksiak both splitting 1:56's, looks like we're in good shape heading into 2020.

Ruck also got the WJR in the 100 back

I'm thinking of going over Saturday night. Would like to see Michael Andrew swim. He should be in two finals and a semifinal that evening.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.

Ruck certainly has the goods to thrown down.
Locally here, Haley (the comet) worked her tail off in Victoria and couldn't equal Ruck.
Just below her high standard last year when I checked times. You know I think at times it comes down to a genetic quality of muscle fiber, if that makes sense.

Speaking of which - from water-skiing parents our friend's daughter Faith is threatening to topple the world order. Cinderella kid from out of nowhere (Nanaimo:) She's a heck of a finals swimmer she might be able to pull off an upset. Exciting stuff.

Local girl (Jade Hannah) qualified 3rd for 100 back finals behind Ruck and Regan Smith. Jade relocated to Vic at the beginning of last season to swim with the HPC there, and she's still only 15.

Yes I saw Jade was from your area as there is an article on Swim Canada about the two of them. Great stuff.

Faith is down there with her of course, Haley moved out of the HPC loop, is coaching and swimming the comp circuit this summer.

Sweet! Bronze for Jade and she cracked the minute barrier. Canucks in 2 and 3.

Had a family event I couldn't skip, so I couldn't go. Sorry I didn't. Andrew tied two Jr World Records (both set by him yesterday in the prelims/semis) and set a third, all in one session. The kid's not showing much endurance in this meet, but he's a killer in ALL the 50's.

Gold medal in the 50 back for Jade Hannah! I knew she was special, but damn! Didn't know she was that good!

And yet another relay gold for us!

IIRC, he won the 100 IM at the World Short Course Champs last year, and that was at the senior event, not junior.
