The match-up did not disappoint, with eight pool records falling over the course of the meet, including three by Stanford freshman and Olympic gold medalist <\/span><b>Katie Ledecky<\/b>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Performance of the Week -- Feb. 14, 2017 - Katie Ledecky\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WTEtCgRkiUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaking records seems to happen almost anytime Ledecky touches the water at this point, but how she broke her first two records over this weekend deserves some special recognition. Ledecky\u2019s first event was the 1000 free, the second event of the meet and just following a winning Cal medley relay that beat Stanford\u2019s \u201cA\u201d relay by more than 2 seconds and broke the pool record. Going out in 4:39.53 at the 500, Ledecky came back in 4:40.88 to win the event and set a new pool record at 9:20.41. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody other than Ledecky has been faster in the 1000 this year, which makes that performance alone notable. But what she did after makes it truly remarkable. Getting out of the 1000 free, Ledecky stepped right back up to the blocks to swim the 200 free and win again in another pool record. Touching in 1:43.09, Ledecky held off teammate and fellow Olympic gold medalist <\/span><b>Simone Manuel<\/b>,<b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blowing her away the last 50 with a 25.76 split that was more than a second faster than anyone else in the field. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To come out of the 1000 and have that level of performance against a fellow gold medalist and short course talent like Manuel is unheard of, and certainly points to Ledecky\u2019s potential for more legendary performances as Stanford moves into championship season.\u00a0Ledecky later\u00a0won the 500 free in 4:35.89, another pool record, and Stanford went on to win the meet 177-133 to remain undefeated in dual meets for the year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations Katie Ledecky on earning Swimming World\u2019s Performance of the Week!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Special Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumalanes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">LumaLanes <\/a>for sponsoring Swimming World&#8217;s Performance of the Week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Learn More About LumaLanes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1HTqQPBuCLQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week saw the much anticipated showdown between the #1 Stanford and the #2 Cal-Berkeley women\u2019s teams at Cal\u2019s Spieker Aquatics Center.
