LaSalle's own Olympic swimmer, Kylie Masse, is celebrating the tenth medal of her career at the Commonwealth Games in women's 100-meter backstroke.
She came in second in Glasgow, Scotland, winning the silver medal, behind Australia's Iona Anderson with a time of 58.77. Anderson's time was 58.71.
"I'm pleased with it. I can't complain about getting on the podium. I could certainly feel the energy. The crowd's been amazing," said Masse.
Masse won five medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and four medals at her Commonwealth Games debut in 2018.
"I think having the opportunity to race on the big stage brings out the best in me," continued Masse. "To race incredible competitors always makes me go faster, and I think being in this environment, representing Canada, and knowing this is the focal point of my season also brings out the best in me."
Masse also has four Olympic medals to her credit. She won a bronze at the 2016 Rio Games, two silver and one bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and a bronze at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Canada is back in the pool on Monday.
