Canada’s Josh Liendo cruised to his second national title at the NCAA men’s swimming and diving championships on Friday night in Indianapolis.
The Scarborough, Ont., native and Florida swimmer won the 100-yard butterfly on Friday, becoming the first Gator to win the event since 2018, and fourth in program history.
Liendo also won the men’s 50-yard freestyle title on Thursday, just before joining Gator teammates Julian Smith, Macguire McDuff and Adam Chaney to win the 200-yard freestyle relay.

The 21-year-old told CBC earlier in March that Canada’s male swimming team is “looking good” and has “good momentum” going into the 2024 Olympics this summer in Paris.
