Grant Shoults<\/strong> and Katie Ledecky<\/strong> each notched another spot atop the national high school All-Americans list with quick swims in the 500-yard freestyle in the 2014-2015 high school season. Ledecky reset her own national high school record, while Shoults made a bid for the boys\u2019 national mark in the distance race.<\/p>\n

Our 11-part NISCA All-American Showcase is highlighting each event on the high school swimming schedule, and Swimming World<\/i> is proud to partner with the National Interscholatic Swim Coaches Association to provide a global spotlight on high school swimming in the United States.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise to find Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart\u2019s Ledecky reigning as the top 500 freestyle swimmer in the high school ranks. The long course world record holder not only lowered her own national high school record<\/a> with a 4:26.58, but took down her American record in the process. This is not a new concept, as Kate Ziegler did the same thing in 2006 \u2026 at the same meet. Ledecky\u2019s swim occurred in the prelims of the D.C. Metro high school championships.<\/p>\n
