University of Toronto Varsity Blues swimming alumna Kylie Masse helped Team Canada to a bronze-medal finish in the 4x100 mixed medley relay at the World Aquatics Championships on Wednesday in Singapore.
 
The podium finish continued her streak of earning at least one medal at every major championships or Games she has competed in since 2015, an incredible 16 events in a row. She will have a chance to add to her total in the women's 50-m backstroke final on Thursday.
 
Masse, who earns her 10th career medal to move back into a tie with Summer McIntosh for most ever at long-course worlds, led off with a solid 58.69 in the backstroke. Swimming against six men and Australian champion Kaylee McKeown, Masse touched eighth but put Canada in good position to make up ground.
 
A member of the Varsity Blues swimming team from 2014-19, Masse went undefeated at five consecutive OUA championships, never losing an individual or relay race. The five-time OUA female swimmer of the year, five-time OUA first team all-star and the 2015 OUA female rookie of the year also twice won the Dr. Jeno Tihanyi award for individual medley excellence and earned major grand slams in all three backstroke events. On the national stage, Masse earned the grand slam award for four career victories in the backstroke events and was named the U SPORTS female swimmer of the year in consecutive seasons from 2016-19. She was named U of T's T-Holders' women's athlete of the year four time in her five seasons with the Blues.
