In the meantime, MacNeil’s first order of business is coming to grips with her stunning victory.
“I don’t imagine getting much sleep,” she said. “No, it hasn’t sunk in and I’m not sure it will even after the meet.”
Meanwhile, Kylie Masse of LaSalle, Ont., and Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C., advanced to the final of the women’s 100 metre backstroke. Masse, the reigning world champ, won her semifinal.
It was MacNeil’s second medal in as many days. The University of Michigan student teamed with fellow teenagers Ruck, Penny Oleksiak and Kayla Sanchez to win bronze in the 4×100 metre freestyle relay on Sunday.
