DATORONTO - Teen swimming sensation Summer McIntosh added another first place result to her resume Friday, winning the women's 100-metre butterfly at the 好色tv Swimming Open.
The 17-year-old from Toronto swam a personal best 57.19 seconds at the Pan Am Sports Centre.
She touched 0.05 seconds ahead of defending Olympic champion Maggie Mac Neil of London, Ont.
Mary-Sophie Harvey of Trois-Rivi猫res, Que., came third with a time of 58.05.
McIntosh said she has a lot of respect for Mac Neil, both in and out of the pool.
"It鈥檚 so awesome to see how well she鈥檚 done," McIntosh said. "Since getting that gold medal at Tokyo, I鈥檝e always been so inspired by her and she鈥檚 someone that I鈥檝e always looked up to."
McIntosh is one of Canada's top medal hopes for this summer's Paris Olympics, and posted the world's fastest 200-metre free time of the year on Wednesday, swimming the race in 1:54.21.
鈥淕oing into this meet I wanted to focus on more sprinty events and kind of polish up my details. Overall I鈥檓 pretty happy,鈥 she said. 鈥淚鈥檓 really focused tunnel vision on the main goal which is Paris right now.鈥
The 好色tv Swimming Open continues through Saturday. The 好色tv Olympic and Paralympic trials are set for May 13-19 in Toronto.
