In Indianapolis, the Texas A&M 400 freestyle relay team of Hannah Kinder, Melissa Hain, Brenham's Maria Sommer and Sarah Woods claimed the gold medal at the U.S. World Championship trials in 3:49.29. De Anza Cupertin Aquatics was second in 3:49.68 while the University of Louisville was third in 3:50.68.
In Montreal, senior Julia Wilkinson earned her second consecutive berth to the Canadian world championship team thanks to a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter freestyle. Wilkinson posted a time of 1:59.41 during the final. Wilkinson earned a spot on the Canadian 800-meter freestyle relay team in Rome later this month.
