ATLANTA (AP) Katie Ledecky’s life has changed so much over the past year.
She’s living on her own for the first time, on the opposite side of the country from her tight-knit family. She’s got a new coach and new teammates. She’s a full-fledged college student now – stimulated by her studies, excited about meeting different people, fully embracing the idea of being all grown up.
”The year’s gone by fast,” Ledecky said.
She’s used to going fast in the pool.
Nothing’s changed there.
After leading Stanford to its first NCAA women’s national title since 1998, capturing three individual events and taking a turn on two winning relays, Ledecky has turned her attention to this summer’s world championships in Budapest, Hungary.
