At first, the goal was just a spot on the 800 free relay, and that changed to swimming the individual 200 free sooner than she might have expected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty special to swim that 200 (free) here,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was an honor to be in a heat like that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katie Ledecky swam in lane seven in the final of the 200
