Leblanc has trended away from the 1650 lately as her best time there is over two years old. Regardless, she&#8217;ll give coaches <strong>Diana Caskey<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Demerae Christianson<\/strong>\u00a0a number of options when she gets to New York next fall.

At that meet, Leblanc swam the breaststroke leg of the team&#8217;s winning 200 medley relay.\u00a0In the very next event she was runner up in the 200 freestyle.
