Events

400 IM

Stanford’s Katie Ledecky took down both the American and NCAA records in the women’s 400 IM at the Pac-12 championships Friday evening. Ledecky swam a time of 3:56.53, beating Katinka Hosszu’s NCAA record of 3:56.54 set back in 2012 by one hundredth.

Ledecky also crushed the American record of 3:57.57 set by teammate Ella Eastin last year. Eastin finished second in the race in 3:57.32, also under her previous American record. She now ranks as the third-fastest performer in history behind Ledecky and Hosszu.

Stanford’s Brooke Forde took third in 4:01.04, making it a 1-2-3 sweep for the Cardinal.

Cal freshman Sarah Darcel was fourth in 4:03.00. Next came three more Stanford swimmers, Allie Szekely (4:06.63), Leah Stevens (4:07.74) and Hannah Kukurugya (4:09.19). Eight went to ASU’s Marlies Ross (4:11.93).
