Masse finished first in Tuesday night's 100 backstroke semifinals, touching the wall in 56.19 seconds, to advance to Wednesday night's final.
On Tuesday morning (Dec. 6), Masse qualified for the semifinals with the fastest time after 100 backstroke heats, bettering her own Canadian record (56.55), in a time of 56.02 seconds.
"I saw some people from my high school there and I saw my family earlier, it's really nice to have people watching," Masse said. "I'm really happy with that but it's a first step. I have two more races so I know that I've done that and I just have to see what I can improve the next race."
