The 2024 Sarasota Sharks Turkey Meet kicked off on Friday, with Canadian Olympic gold medalist Summer time McIntosh turning heads with a brand new private greatest time in a secondary occasion.
McIntosh gained the five hundred free on Friday night in 4:35.74, about eight seconds slower than her private greatest, and adopted it on Saturday morning with a 2:08.86 win within the 200 breast.
That 200 breast time was her first time swimming the occasion in yards; she has a greatest of two:27.23 in lengthy course meters and a pair of:29.31 in brief course meters.
McIntosh cemented her standing because the world’s prime feminine swimmer in Paris with gold medals within the 200 fly, 200 IM, and 400 IM and a silver within the 400 free, so her having a quick 200 breaststroke isn’t an enormous shock. Swimming a 2:08, although, at this level of the season, in an area membership meet, was sufficient to catch consideration. For perspective, the highest 200 breaststroker in the highschool class of 2025 (which is probably going the place McIntosh would have been if she had taken the standard route) is Addie Robillard with a 2:08.40.
McIntosh just-missed Sabyne Brisson’s 2023 LSC File of two:08.34, completed when Brisson was a freshman at Georgia Tech.
Given what McIntosh swam within the 500 free, it’s fairly simple to undertaking that she has a 2:06 or 2:05 200 yard breaststroke in her – and that’s in what might be her ninth or tenth greatest yards occasion.
Within the 200 IM, the place her breaststroke is most necessary, she break up 37.53 en path to gold within the Olympic ultimate. That was a methods behind the silver medalist Kate Douglass, who gained the 200 breaststroke in Paris, however is akin to the opposite non-breatstroke IMers like bronze medalist Kaylee McKeown (37.77) and Yi Yuting (37.37)
She can be scheduled to swim a 100 fly, 100 again, and 100 breast this weekend, which can fill out her profession yards IMX rating. She has no 100 yard again time, her greatest 100 yard breast is a 1:04.11 from this meet in 2022, and her greatest 100 yard fly time is a 51.10 from Winter Juniors East in December 2022.
The meet was largely designed as a racing alternative for Winter Juniors-and-below members of the Sharks workforce, together with a couple of different smaller native golf equipment, so many of the remainder of Sarasota’s prime swimmers didn’t compete. For instance, McIntosh gained the five hundred free by greater than 30 seconds and the 200 breast by nearly 10.
McIntosh is scheduled to race in December on the Brief Course World Championships in December, although, and this was McIntosh’s first racing since her triumphant Summer time Olympic Video games.
