Katie Ledecky broke the female record for most Olympic Trials wins. She’s joined on the team for Tokyo by an elementary schoolmate.
Ledecky made it four for four in victories to finish her work in Omaha, taking her signature event, the 800m freestyle, on Saturday night. She owns the 23 fastest times in history.
It’s her eighth career Olympic Trials win, dating to 2012. She breaks a record she shared with Tracy Caulkins and Katie Hoff.
Michael Phelps holds the overall record with 16 victories, which Ledecky could approach if she swims through the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
