In true form, Katie Ledecky made another grueling race look easy, as she surged to a 1:55.80 finish in the women’s 200 free at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Bloomington. Pulling away from the pack shortly after the breakout, Ledecky seemed to lose no steam, finishing over a second earlier than her training partner, Simone Manuel (1:57.24).
Madisyn Cox continued to impress with a best time to start the night, touching in at 1:58.52 to cinch third. Gaining a healthy lead over Allison Schmitt (1:59.17), Cox has been a dangerous contender all meet, showcasing her skills in a variety of events. Last night’s 200 fly champion, Katie Drabot, managed to break into the top five with a time of 1:59.18, crashing the pads just before Gabby DeLoof (1:59.79). Brooke Forde and Cierra Runge rounded out the loaded heat with times of 1:59.97 and 2:00.80, respectively.
