Katie Ledecky got things rolling in Ft Lauderdale in the most Katie Ledecky way possible: clocking the 5th fastest time ever in the 1500 Free with a 15:25.62. Last year at this pool, Ledecky was a 15:24, which surprised many, including herself. This year, however, Ledecky was confident she'd be right around this time, saying that she has carried the momentum from this meet last year into her training and racing since.
A Katie Ledecky with this much confidence, casually rolling off 15:20-mids in season, could be pretty scary come Pan Pacs in August.
