CHICAGO – Nine-gold Olympic champion Katie Ledecky notched another impressive victory at the US Swimming Championships on June 6, clocking 3min 58.56sec to win the 400m freestyle to add another event to her 2025 World Championships programme.
The American, who had already punched her ticket to the championships in Singapore by winning the 800m free, was under world-record pace at the 200m mark and came home 1.49sec in front of Claire Weinstein – who led Ledecky in a one-two finish in the 200m free this week.
“I just wanted to put together a solid race, start to finish,” Ledecky said after capturing her 32nd national title.
“I was definitely hurting the last 100, but overall I’m pretty happy with that.”
