IRVINE, California, August 9. WHILE Katie Ledecky set the pool at Woollett Aquatic Center on fire with her world record in the women’s 400 free, Cierra Runge quietly went about her business behind her. Runge ended up finishing second in an outstanding 4:04.67, good for eighth in the world this year and comfortably ahead of Leah Smith. Runge talked to Swimming World afterwards about her thoughts on the time, how the crowd affected her race, and the impact of swimming next to a world record.
