Former North Bay Y Titan Dominique Bouchard placed 6th in her 200m backstroke semifinal Thursday night.

She finished with a time of 2:09.07, tied for 9th overall.

Only the top 8 advance to the final.

Fellow Canadian Hilary Caldwell was 2nd overall and will swim for a medal Friday night.

Earlier this week, Bouchard placed 12th in the 100m semifinals and did not advance to the final.
