FAIRFAX, Virginia, December 11. KATE Ziegler, America's distance sensation, broke her second American record of the Tom Dolan Invitational on Sunday night as she motored through the 1,000-yard freestyle in an almost unfathomable time of 9:21.57. That effort obliterated Ziegler's American mark of 9:24.80, set last year in the same pool at George Mason University.
A member of The Fish and coached by Ray Benecki, Ziegler set a record Thursday in the 1,650 free, bettering a long-standing mark of Janet Evans. In the longer race, Ziegler was timed in 15:37.17. The reigning world champ in the 800 and 1,500 freestyles, Ziegler appears ready to duplicate that double-gold performance when she races at the 2007 World Champs in Melbourne in March.
