She was however part of the National Record-setting 4×100 mixed medley team this summer in Singapore, anchoring a team also featuring Kylie Masse, Oliver Dawson and Josh Liendo to bronze in 52.94 as the finished just 0.07 seconds ahead of the Netherlands.
She was also an important part of the women’s 4×100 free, 4×200 free, and 4×100 medley relays at the 2022 Short Course World Championships in Melbourne, contributing splits of 51.49, 1:52.73, and 51.85 as Canada set National Records in all three events.
Ruck had considered stepping away from competition after the Paris Olympics, but ultimately decided not to. She has the LA Olympics on her mind, and during the World Championships this summer talked about the decision to continue through 2028, as reported by Bruce Arthur in the Toronto Star:
“It is a big decision, and I think that’s what I’m excited and nervous about in my late 20s: figuring out where life takes you, and having your priorities straight,” said Ruck. “So I’m excited to be learning about what that looks like, especially from teammates. Summer, Mary, they’re so cool to see, just their stories, their journeys. And honestly, it is inspiring for my own goals, looking forward like that.”
Tonight’s swim was a great sign for her, and she has had strong swims through the first two stops of the World Cup. She has entries in the 100 free, 100 back and 50 fly remaining in Toronto.
