Ledecky makes history by swimming mile at trials
Katie Ledecky becomes the first woman allowed to race the Olympic 1,500 meters and wins the event at the U.S. trials in Omaha. Her 15:40.50 marks the fastest time worldwide this year, as she also leads in the 200 free earlier in the night. Janet Evans and Donna de Varona attend, with Caeleb Dressel and Nathan Adrian contending in other events.
