Women’s 200 Freestyle – Finals – Reported by SwimSwam.
The defending Olympic Champion Allison Schmitt fought to the end with Katie Ledecky in the finals of the women’s 200 freestyle, but didn’t have enough in the end. Katie Ledecky posted a time of 1:56.27. Schmitt posted a great time as well with a 1:56.90. Katie Hoff has looked strong all weekend. She reached in to finish third with a 1:59.93. Cierra Runge was the final swimmer to dip under the 2 minute barrier, finishing in fourth place.
Another great meet for Katie so far.
She continues to improve her speed slowly but surely.
Nice article on the USA swimming website.
She talks about her college future.
