One year ago today, Katie Ledecky set the world record in the women’s 1500m freestyle at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Indianapolis. Her time of 15:20.48 shattered the former mark, which she set at the 2015 FINA World Championships by 5 full seconds.
Here’s a look back at that race:
Ledecky is back in the water this weekend -- in the same state, less than an hour down the road -- at the TYR Pro Swim Series at Bloomington. She will not be swimming in the 1500 as the meet kicks off tonight at 4 p.m. Eastern Time, but she is slated to swim the 100 free, 400 free, the 200 free, the 400 IM and the 800 free.
