The race was won by overall series champion Kate Douglass of the USA in 1:02.93, with Ireland\u2019s Mona McSharry taking second in 1:03.84.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking afterwards, Meder said she was &#8220;very happy&#8221; with her performances over the last few weeks. &#8220;I\u2019m really happy to see that I&#8217;m becoming more and more competitive against the world&#8217;s best, and nice to see that I&#8217;m racing in events that are stacked with the swimmers that I normally race against,&#8221; she said, referencing competitors such as Olympic champion Douglass and world champion sisters Alex and Gretchen Walsh.<\/p>\n<p>Meder\u2019s other results in Toronto included a fourth place in the 200m breaststroke in 2:18.81, a fifth place in the 200m individual medley in 2:05.83, and a sixth place in the 100m individual medley in 58.81 seconds. This saw her finishing 16th overall in the series standings.<\/p>\n<p>While the World Cup series is raced in 25-metre pools (short course), Meder will now switch her focus to next year\u2019s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, raced over 50 metres, where she will be aiming for more podium finishes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Up next, the biggest focus is Commonwealth Games next year, of which lots of my competitors, competitors that I was racing now, will be at. So I&#8217;m looking forward to racing them again,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Africa<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
