Ruck also had a runner-up finish Thursday in the 50 freestyle.
Knox, of Okotoks, Alta., took bronze in the men’s 200 individual medley in one minute 52.33 seconds, behind Americans Shaine Casas and Carson Foster.
It was Knox’s third bronze medal after third-place finishes in the 100 butterfly and 100 individual medley.
