In the A-finals of the 400 Free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Indianapolis, Leah Smith (swimming unattached) rocked to second in the world rankings. Smith stole the world ranking from Hungary’s Boglarka Kapas (4:03.47) with her 4:03.33 winning time at the meet.

Leah Smith is now ranked second in the world in the 400 freestyle, only behind Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky. Smith’s 4:03.33 winning time bodes well for the upcoming Olympic Trials. Smith took almost two seconds off her preliminary 4:05.21 for the win. Second in the finals went to Swim Ontario’s Brittany Maclean (4:07.18), racing to the placing from out in lane seven. Badger Swim Club’s Lindsay Vrooman was a close third at a 4:07.32.
