Canadian Summer McIntosh emphatically reclaimed the world record in the 400m freestyle ahead of a likely showdown with Katie Ledecky at this summer’s World Championships. McIntosh, a triple gold medalist at the Paris Olympics, clocked 3 minutes, 54.18 seconds at the Canadian trials for worlds in Victoria, British Columbia, on Saturday night. The normally stoic 18-year-old was so thrilled with the time that she slammed her right arm into the water in celebration.

Luke Mijatovic is set to become the youngest U.S. male swimmer to compete at a World Championships since Michael Phelps in 2001. Mijatovic, who turned 16 on April 22, made the world team as runner-up in the 400m freestyle at the Toyota U.S. Championships on Friday night. He had to wait until the last day of nationals on Saturday for his place to become official due to roster limit rules. Mijatovic broke national age group records for 15- and 16-year-olds in the 200m and 400m frees at nationals.

Katie Ledecky, Bobby Finke and Gretchen Walsh capped the Toyota U.S. Swimming Championships by each winning their third event of the meet on Saturday. They will lead the U.S. team at the World Championships in July and August in Singapore. Ledecky extended a 15-year win streak in the 1500m freestyle, an event where she holds the 23 fastest times in history. She clocked 15 minutes, 36.76 seconds, distancing the field by more than 25 seconds in Indianapolis.

In a passing of the torch, Olympic 200m breaststroke champion Kate Douglass overtook Lilly King, the 100m breast world record holder, in the 100m event in King’s final career domestic race at the Toyota U.S. Championships on Friday. Douglass edged King by 23 hundredths of a second at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis, a pool that the Evansville native King has been racing in since she was 10 years old.

Gabrielle Rose, 47, qualified for tonight’s 100m breaststroke final at U.S. Championships (@peacock). Nobody else in the field was alive when Rose made her Olympic debut. Here she is qualifying for 2000 Olympics at the same pool where she swims tonight: https://t.co/5LGdzeR6Aq
I believe Luka Mijatovic -- at 16 years, 1 month old -- would be the youngest U.S. swimmer to win a national title since Katie Ledecky at the 2012 Olympic Trials and the youngest U.S. male swimmer to compete at a World Championships since Michael Phelps' debut in 2001.
This was a prelims swim btw 🫨 The 16-year-old will be your top seed in tonight's #ToyotaNationals 400m freestyle finals. https://t.co/NDiRc38s7Y
