Canadians Liendo, Kharun win national titles at NCAA swimming championships

Canadian swimmers claimed two more national titles at the NCAA men's swimming and diving championship in Indianapolis on Saturday.

Florida's Josh Liendo, of Scarborough, Ont., won his third national title in as many days when he defended his 100 freestyle title in 40.20 seconds.

Liendo, 21, won the 50 freestyle on Thursday and the 100 butterfly on Friday at the championships.

Montreal-born swimmer Ilya Kharun pulled away in the final 50 yards to win the 200 butterfly title in one minute 38.26 seconds.

Kharun swims for Arizona State University under legendary coach Bob Bowman, who famously helped Michael Phelps to 23 Olympic gold medals.

The 19-year-old has lived in the U.S. for the majority of his life. His parents spent most of their lives performing with Cirque du Soleil.
