As the world revs up to compete for the first set of stroke 50 Olympic medals, Kylie Masse reaffirmed she’s a force to be reckoned with. At 29 years of age, the Canadian popped a new national record of 27.13 in the prelims of the Pro Series in Fort Lauderdale.

Masse, who holds the national records in all three backstroke events, beat her own best time of 27.18 from the 2022 Canadian Trials. The fastest non-Masse Canadian time stands at 27.37 by Ingrid Wilm from 2023 Mare Nostrum in Monaco.

She also gave Katharine Berkoff’s 27.12 U.S. Open Record a scare, coming just .01 shy of the time Berkoff turned in at America’s 2022 International Team Trials. Masse and Berkoff both get another crack at this record side-by-side tonight, as will American record holder Regan Smith.

Already among the all-time top 10 performers in the event, Masse moved herself up two positions in the rankings to #8, surpassing Brazil’s Etiene Medeiros and Aussie Mollie O’Callaghan.
