    She did all she could to help her team come close to a title … perhaps for the final time.

    Erica Morningstar, a two-time Olympian, won the 200m IM at the 2013 CIS swimming championships at the University of Calgaryโ€™s Aquatic Centre and then promptly announced to the crowd that it was the final meet of a terrific career in the pool, though she stopped short of uttering the word โ€˜retirementโ€™.

    โ€œI knew coming in that this was going to be my last meet, but I didnโ€™t want to think about it that way because there was lots of racing to do,โ€ said the 23-year-old. โ€œIโ€™m not formally announcing my retirement, but Iโ€™m definitely taking a break from swimming for the moment.โ€
