Backstroke
Kylie Masse and Iona Anderson, the class of the field in the individual event, were the class of the field tonight and were the only two leadoff legs under 1:00. Anderson had the better of the second 50 to touch in 58.83, just 0.12 seconds off her winning time in the individual 100 back, with Masse touching 0.30 seconds behind in 59.13.
Lauren Cox had her fastest swim of the week with a 1:00.36 for England, just ahead of South Africa’s individual bronze 100 back medalist Olivia Nel. Nel was three tenths off her South African record, but got the better of Scotland’s Katie Shanahan.
Bex Sutton set a big lifetime best this morning for Wales with a 1:01.13, and was just off that time this evening with a 1:01.19. Lottie Cullen clocked 1:01.51 for Northern Ireland, with Guernsey’s Tatiana Tostevin just under a second off her best of 1:03.10 in 1:04.03.

There was no surprise as to who the fastest breaststroke leg was, with individual champion Angharad Evans outsplitting the field by nearly a second and a half.
She clocked 1:04.83 to bring Scotland right back into contention with Canada and Australia at the halfway point, half a second faster than the 1:05.34 she posted in the individual semi-finals and just off her 1:04.52 from the mixed medley relay last night.
Sophie Angus had a strong 1:06.27 for Canada, giving them the lead at halfway, with Sienna Toohey being a little slower than her season best for Australia with a 1:06.75. South Africa’s Aimee Canny was a couple of tenths off her silver medal-winning time of 1:06.19 from the individual event.
Amalie Smith took over breaststroke duties for England and delivered their fastest split of the meet in 1:07.22. That is over three seconds faster than her lifetime best of 1:10.63, and continues a fantastic meet for her after winning silver in the 400 IM and bronze in the 200 IM, both in European Junior records.
Ellie McCartney was 1:07.93 for Northern Ireland a couple of hours after winning bronze in the 200 breast, with Amy Crowley three tenths under her flat start best with a 1:08.34 for Wales. Oriana Wheeler split 1:15.43 for Guernsey, a couple of seconds off her flat start best.

Alex Perkins showed her class on the fly leg, splitting 56.30 to hand over to anchor Meg Harris with a lead of over a second. She was slightly faster than the 56.38 she swam to win the individual 100 fly, and only just off the 56.26 she split on this relay at the World Championships last summer.
Erin Gallagher was 57.04 for South Africa, closing the gap to Canada by a second with a 57.04 leg, faster than the 57.40 she split on the mixed medley yesterday. Ella Jansen had a solid leg for Canada in 57.95, faster than her flat start best of 58.74.
Keanna MacInnes was slightly slower than her mixed medley relay split of 57.60 and her silver medal-winning time of 57.33 from the individual event, but kept Scotland second in the race. Emily Harris was 59.14 for England, as they were three seconds away from the podium battle with 100 meters to go.
Medi Harris was just over 1:00 for Wales, having set a lifetime best of 59.42 this April, with Northern Ireland’s Alana Burns-Atkin getting the better of Guernsey’s Orla Rabey, 1:01.61 to 1:03.32.

Meg Harris split 52-low for the third time this meet, swimming in clean water and extending her lead by a second and a half. This was her third relay anchor of the week, and while it was her slowest she was still half a second faster than the 52.90 she clocked for the win in the individual 100 free.
Evelyn Davis was sub-54 for Scotland as she opened up a half-second lead on Canada with 50 to go, then pulled away to earn a comfortable silver in a huge new Scottish record. She was under her flat start best of 53.99, as well as the 54.33 she posted in the heats of the individual event.
Freya Colbert was 54.02, matching her flat start best exactly but more than half a second slower than the 53.41 she swam on the women’s 4×100 free relay. Theodora Taylor was two seconds off the 52.63 she blazed as Wales won bronze in the mixed 4×100 free relay, but was three seconds off England at the takeover and had no one to race.
Rebecca Meder had a strong final 50 of 28.47 to overtake Canada’s Madison Kryger, who split 29.26 on the final 50, with Meder getting to the wall first by 0.12 seconds. Grace Davison was in a similar position to Theodora Taylor, splitting 54.80 in a race on her own, with Guernsey’s Tallulah-Mae Rautenbach splitting 58.88 on the anchor for the Channel Island
