There are just two more days to vote for distance star Katie Ledecky as the top female Olympic Athlete of the Year in the Team USA online award voting.

Ledecky made history this summer when she became the first person ever to win the 200-400-800-1500 freestyle events at the 2015 World Championships in Kazan, and she’s made setting world records look easy enough she accidentally has done it in prelims.

Ledecky is up against gymnast Simone Biles, wrestler Adeline Gray, triathlete Gwen Jorgensen and tennis player Serena Williams.

Here is Ledecky’s quick bio sheet from the ballot:

Katie Ledecky, Swimming

Led Team USA to the top of the medal table with five gold medals and three world-record performances at the 2015 FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia, where she was named FINA’s Female Swimmer of the Meet.
Became the first swimmer in history to sweep the 200-, 400-, 800- and 1,500-meter freestyle races at the FINA World Championships, where she also anchored the U.S. women’s 800 freestyle relay to the gold medal and broke her own world records in both the 800 (8:07.39) and 1,500 (15:25.48).
Her total margin of victory in her four individual world championship events was nearly 30 seconds, including a 15-second win in the 1,500 and a 10-second win in the 400; and her splits in each of the 800 and 1,500 would have medaled in the shorter events.
Became the first woman to win four individual gold medals at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships, winning the 200-, 400-, 800- and 1,500-meter freestyle events and adding gold in the 800 freestyle relay. Over the final two nights of competition, she broke her 400 record (3:58.37) and took six seconds off her 1,500 record (15:28.36).
