Hilary Caldwell waited until the last day of the 2016 Canadian Olympic Trials in order to make the team, securing her spot with a first place finish in the 200m backstroke.
Caldwell won the race in a time of 2:07.96 which is the fastest she’s ever been outside of the 2013 World Championships: a great sign as she embarks on her training for the Rio Olympics.
