SANTA CLARA, California, June 23. PREPARING for a strong showing at August's Summer Nationals, Kate Ziegler kicked off the Santa Clara International Swim Meet in strong fashion Thursday night by claiming an easy victory in the 1,500-meter freestyle. The reigning world champion in the 800 and 1,500 free events, Ziegler clocked 16:28.62 to defeat her teammate, Chloe Sutton (16:43.05). Both women train under Ray Benecki with The Fish.
