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.
`’Overall I’m really happy with my race,” McIntosh said. `’There’s always things to learn. My split times were different than usual, so obviously I need to fix that in training.
“But a PB is a PB and hopefully I can gain more extra milliseconds next time.”
