Katie Ledecky, Bobby Finke and Gretchen Walsh crowned the Toyota United States swimming championships, each winning their third event on the competition on Saturday.
They will direct the American team at the world championships in July and August in Singapore.
LEDECKY extended a sequence of 15 -year -old victories at the 1500m freestyle, an event in which it holds the 23 fastest times in history. She timed 15 minutes, 36.76 seconds, moving the land over 25 seconds to Indianapolis.
Ledecky has the fastest times in the world this year in the 400m, 800m and 1500m. At Worlds, she can rely on her female record 21 career world titles.
SWIMMING: Results
If Ledecky sweeps away her three individual events and is part of a free 4x200m relay, she will move a shy on the overall record of Michael Phelps 26 world titles.
It is also a timid Ryan Lochte medal for the second largest medal in the history of the championships. Phelps obtained 33 years old, Lochte was 27 and Ledecky is 26 years in total.
Australian Ariarne Titmus, the 400m free Olympic gold medalist and the 800m free silver medalist, takes a break from the competition this year.
Ledecky’s main competition will therefore be the 18 -year -old Canadian McIntosh, the 400m free Olympic silver medalist before Ledecky.
McIntosh is also the second fastest woman in the history of the 800m free behind Ledecky. She did not run it at the Paris Games, but said last week that she could do so in Singapore.
Walsh has the top Times of the world this year in the 50m and 100m butterflies and the 50m free, which she won at the Nationals on Saturday. Walsh equalized the 23.91 -second American partner from Kate Douglass.
She seeks her first individual title during a large international meeting in a 50 -meter swimming pool. Walsh won seven gold medals and broke nine individual world records at the short -term world championships last December in the 25 -meter less used swimming pool.
Finke won the 800m and 1500m free at the national championships – its two Olympic gold medal events – plus the individual 400m, although it does not run this event in Worlds. The 1500m free and 400m IM final is in the same session in Singapore.
Finke is already a world champion in the 800m, but in 1500m, he will ask to become the first American man to win this event in Worlds since Tim Shaw in 1975.
Also on Saturday, Jack Alexy won the free male 50m in 21.36 seconds, becoming the fastest second American in history behind Caeleb Dressel. Alexy has the Tive Times of the world this year in the 50m and 100m.
Shaine Casas and Alex Walsh won the 200m medleys for men and women in the fastest and fastest moments in the world this year, respectively.
The American championships highlight Air Sunday at 2 p.m. HE on NBC.
Ariarne Titmus won two swimming gold medals for Australia in Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.
