Katie Ledecky went out fast. At what point she was four seconds under American Record pace. Could she hold on? The fans at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion held their collective breath as she went lap by lap.
The magical 15 minute barrier has seemed untouchable by a woman, but with Katie, anything is possible.
As the race went on, she fell off pace, but ended up winning the final in a 15:07.57, a little off her American Record of 15:03.31 that she set earlier this season.
Ledecky was well ahead of second place Ally McHugh of Penn State who swam a 15:36.27, good for eighth all-time.
NC State senior Hannah Moore finished third at 15:40.68 as she is just outside the top 15 all-time performers in the event. Flavia Rigamonti sits 15th all-time with a 15:40.41 from 2003.
Stanford’s Megan Byrnes (15:43.68), Stanford’s Leah Stevens (15:49.07), Michigan’s G Ryan (15:50.95), Ohio State’s Molly Kowal (15:52.80) and NC State’s Tamila Holub (15:54.44) also placed in the top eight.
Ledecky successfully defends her title she won last year in this event. This is Stanford’s seventh NCAA title in the 1650 as they now have the most titles of any school. Ledecky joins Marybeth Linzemeier (1982-1984) and Janet Evans (1990, 1991) as winners for the Cardinal
