After breaking an Ontario record this morning, Penny Oleksiak was rearin’ to go after coming within a few hundredths of the Canadian age-group record in the prelims.

It seemed as though she wasn’t the only one gunning for the record as Rebecca Smith of Red Deer threw down a 25.40 to break the previous record of 25.52. Oleksiak was also under the record with a time of 25.51.

With the two swimmers breaking the previous record, 13-year-old Kayla Sanchez wasn’t far off that mark, posting a 25.58 to finish third overall.

Rebecca Smith will be swimming the 200 backstroke and 100 freestyle on the final night of competition.
