Stanford freshman Katie Ledecky broke three pool records at California on Saturday, but read on for her most impressive feat of the day.
Ledecky’s first pool record came via winning the 1,000-yard freestyle in 9 minutes, 20.41 seconds, lapping all but one swimmer and winning by 26.06 seconds. It gets better.
She got out of the pool and then jumped back in the very next event, the 200-yard free. There, she prevailed by .95 over Stanford teammate and Olympic 100m free champion Simone Manuel. Also the fastest time ever in Cal’s pool.
Ledecky’s two pool records were set within six minutes of each other, according to Stanford’s live posting of results.
