Swimming News.. Canadian Edition

News from my favorite event and someone I used to race:
Audrey Lacroix of Montreal put together the finest short course swim of her career on Wednesday as she won the gold medal in the women’s 200-metre butterfly to conclude the fifth stop on the World Cup swimming circuit.Lacroix clocked two minutes and 04.53 seconds to smash her previous national short course mark of 2:06.90 set at the British Championships in 2004. She also came within 0.49 seconds of the world record held by Yang Yu of China since 2004. In fact, Lacroix appeared headed for the world mark. She was under the record at all three splits (50-100-150 metres).
