SANTIAGO, Chile — Maggie Mac Neil added a Pan American Games gold medal to her Olympic gold in the women’s 100-metre butterfly Sunday.

The 23-year-old from London, Ont., set a Pan Am Games record of 56.94 seconds. 

The Canadian led at the turn and beat runner-up Kelly Pash of the United States by just under a second.

It was Mac Neil’s second gold medal in as many days in Santiago, Chile after helping the women’s freestyle relay team win on the first day of swimming.

Mac Neil was a triple medallist in Tokyo’s Olympic Games two years ago with butterfly gold, silver and bronze medals in relays.
