The 400 IM moves from last on the morning schedule to first at night, leaving Ledecky with a quick turnaround between her two races.
Other top seeds include Josh Prenot in the men’s 400 IM, Dylan Carter in the men’s 200 free, Eva Merrell and Jacob Pebley in the 200 back and Simone Manuel and Ari-Pekka Liukkonen in the 50 free.
Ledecky and Melanie Margalis are going for the 400 IM-200 free double, but both Madisyn Cox (eighth) and Ella Eastin (ninth) scratched the 200 free to focus on the IM.
Elsewhere, Olympic gold medalist Matt Grevers pulled out of the C-final of the 50 free but will compete in the 100 back on day three.
Sierra Schmidt did not compete in the morning prelims, and she will be out for the remainder of the meet after twisting her ankle.
