Katie Ledecky earned the first 1500 freestyle title of the 2019 TYR Pro Swim Series in a time of 15:45.59. The swim is the twelfth-best performance of her career. Last year, Ledecky did not swim this event until May, where she set the World, American, U.S. Open and Pro Swim Series Records. She was out far ahead of the field from the first fifty and never let up.
Similarly, veteran Ashley Twichell maintained the second spot from start to finish. She raced to a time of 16:13.03 ahead of Sandpipers of Nevada’s Erica Sullivan in 16:29.23. Both women were also off their personal bests, but have not swam this event this early in recent years.
15-year-old Mariah Denigan took fourth (16:31.48) and was followed by Becca Mann (16:32.55), Amanda Nunan (16:39.72), Marit Anderson (17:05.59) and Paige Kuwata (17:12.31). Averee Preble of the Clovis Swim Club will take the official eighth-place spot with her 17:08.66 from the morning heats.
