Bell Canadian Swimming Trials — Day 5 🇨🇦

Dinos brought five days of great racing to a close tonight in Montreal.

The night kicked off with the 200 Back — Kinnon Sen had a standout performance, winning the junior final in 2:03.93 with a huge personal best.

Alexanne Lepage took home her second win of the weekend, clocking her fastest-ever 100 Breast and inching even closer to the sub-1:06 mark.

In celebration of a great week of performances, UCSC alum Lorne Wigginton was awarded Male Swimmer of the Meet.

The night ended with the official Pan Pacific Championships team announcement, with Alexanne Lepage, Laon Kim, UCSC alum Lorne Wigginton, and Coach Mike Blondal all named to Canada’s national team heading to California next month.

What an exceptional week of showcasing all that Canada has to offer... what an opportunity.... what a week to be a Dino 🦖
