Summer McIntosh is back on track.
After placing fourth in the 400 freestyle and losing her world record in the process, McIntosh rebounded with a time of one minute 55.88 seconds to move into the semifinals of the shorter distance, which begin Tuesday at 8:13 a.m. ET.
McIntosh, the 16-year-old who owns the world junior record in the 200 freestyle, swam the X-fastest time in heats, only behind Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan (1:55.68).
Ariarne Titmus, the Australian who broke McIntosh's world record en route to 400 gold, was the third-fastest qualifier at 1:56.20.
