WOMEN’S 100 FREE – FINALS
Katie Ledecky was absolutely on fire this morning, taking the top seed in a new personal best time of 54.89. Tonight, she was just as spectacular winning the race in 54.55 over Katinka Hosszu and Megan Romano.
Romano and Hosszu were out quick, with Romano leading the way at the 50 meter mark. Romano turned in 26.74, but after about 70 meters was passed by Ledecky. Ledecky made a huge push in the last 10 meters to extend her lead a little bit, but so did Hosszu.
Ledecky clocked in at 54.55 for the gold followed by Hosszu in 54.66 and Romano in 54.79.
The three leaders were well ahead of the rest of the field. NBAC’s Allison Schmitt was fourth overall almost a full second behind Romano in 55.78.
The time for Ledecky is extremely impressive given what she was in the 100 freestyle at this point last season. Last season, she finished eighth overall with a time of 55.57. Granted, all the swimmers who swam the race in 2014 aren’t present, however Ledecky still won over a very tough field.
