IRVINE, California, August 9.<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, when she blasted the world records in the 800 and 1500 freestyle events at The Woodlands Senior Invite, NCAP\u2019s Katie Ledecky also managed to turn in a world-leading time of 4:03.09 in the 400-meter freestyle. \u00a0This morning, Ledecky stunned the crowd with a U.S. Open and meet record as she challenged both the world and American records in the event with a 3:59.89. \u00a0That time just missed Federica Pellegrini\u2019s world record of 3:59.15 and Ledecky\u2019s American record of 3:59.82, the top two times in history. \u00a0Ledecky is the only person to ever break 4:00 twice.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, her time also betters her World Junior Record since her American record was posted prior to FINA actually recognizing World Junior Records. \u00a0Until a true FINA-supported list of best times by juniors throughout history is compiled, tracking WJRs gets to be a bit of a farce. \u00a0Ledecky has set two WJRs this week, both of which have faster times by junior swimmers even one by Ledecky herself.<\/p>\n

Comparative Splits<\/h2>\n

Ledecky U.S. Open record:<\/p>\n

28.25, 58.25 (30.00), 1:28.40 (30.15), 1:58.59 (30.19), 2:29.35 (30.76), 2:59.79 (30.44), 3:30.20 (30.41), 3:59.89 (29.69)<\/p>\n

Pellegrini:<\/p>\n

28.45, 58.66 (30.31), 1:28.97 (30.31), 1:59.42 (30.45), 2:29.66 (30.24), 2:59.93 (30.27),\u00a03:29.79 (29.86), 3:59.15 (29.36)<\/p>\n

Ledecky American record:<\/p>\n

28.05, 58.12 (30.07), 1:28.25 (30.13), 1:58.74 (30.49), 2:28.85 (30.11), 2:59.29 (30.44),\u00a03:29.94 (30.65), 3:59.82 (29.88)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her time crushed the 4:02.20 U.S. Open record set by Katie Hoff in 2008 as well as Hoff\u2019s 4:02.32 meet record from that year as well. \u00a0Ledecky\u2019s effort also became the first time under 4:00 on American soil. Since she already is on the Pan Pacific team with her swims from earlier this week, Ledecky may just go for it as she really has nothing to lose in the finale.<\/p>\n

Cavalier\u2019s Leah Smith raced her way to a distant second in prelims with a 4:06.90. \u00a0That time bettered her 18th-ranked season best of 4:06.93 from the Potomac Valley Championships, but did not leapfrog Lotte Friis\u2019 4:06.83 from Santa Clara. NBAC\u2019s Cierra Runge took third in 4:07.58.<\/p>\n

Badger\u2019s Lindsay Vrooman (4:07.82), BlueFish\u2019s Elizabeth Beisel (4:08.07), NBAC\u2019s Becca Mann (4:09.89), NBAC\u2019s Gillian Ryan (4:10.93) and Aggie\u2019s Sarah Henry (4:10.93) also made the finale.<\/p>\n

In a stunner, NBAC\u2019s Allison Schmitt had her worst swim of the meet with a 35th-place 4:17.82 as her chances to make the National Team ended this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
