TORONTO — Canada’s Summer McIntosh is back on top of the podium at the FINA Swimming World Cup. 

She finished first in the women’s 400-metre medley final on Saturday evening at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.

McIntosh set a world junior record with a time of four minutes 21.49 seconds to lead a Canadian sweep. Sydney Pickrem of Halifax was second in 4:28.45 and Bailey Andison of Smiths Falls, Ont., was third in 4:29.36.

McIntosh edged American star Katie Ledecky in the 400 free a day earlier. The 16-year-old from Toronto won in 3:52.80 seconds – the second-fastest time in history – to break her own Canadian short-course record.

Competition continues through Sunday night. The World Cup circuit continues next weekend in Indianapolis.
