That earned Ledecky the Female Swimmer of the Meet award and USA Swimming\u2019s Athlete of the Year honor. Now, she is part of a talented group, named on the list of Time Magazine\u2019s 30 Most Influential Teens of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Ledecky was part of a group that made a \u201cglobal impact through social media and overall ability to drive news.\u201d Ledecky, 18, certainly did that during the week of the world championships in Russia, setting world records in the 800 and 1500 freestyles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next Michael Phelps has arrived,\u201d Time wrote in its blurb about Ledecky.<\/p>\n<p>Ledecky isn\u2019t the only competitive swimmer on the list. <strong>Olivia Hallisey<\/strong> is gaining acclaim for discovering a way to test for ebola cheaply and without the need for refrigeration, a discovery that could help disadvantaged areas of the world. Hallisey won a Google competition for developing the test. Hallisey represents the Chelsea Piers Aquatic Club in Connecticut, where she is an accomplished butterflyer and freestyler.<\/p>\n<p>Among the others on the list are entrepreneurs, entertainers and athletes. Many are using their fame to push social change agendas, while others are turning heads for their business savvy. Among the other athletes on the list are snowboarder <strong>Chloe Kim<\/strong>, soccer player <strong>Martin Odegaard<\/strong> and golfer <strong>Lydia Ko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Missy Franklin<\/strong> was part of this list in 2013, the year she won six gold medals at the world championships.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/time.com\/4081618\/most-influential-teens-2015\/
