Ledecky cruises to 200 free win in final tuneup for trials (Yahoo Sports)

Katie Ledecky began her final tuneup for the U.S. Olympic trials with another impressive showing in the 200-meter freestyle. The 19-year-old cruised to victory Friday night at the Atlanta Classic, a meet being held at the pool on the Georgia Tech campus that was site of the 1996 Olympics. Getting herself in an Olympic state of mind, Ledecky turned in a blistering time in the morning preliminaries and came back even stronger in the evening, touching in 1 minute, 54.82 seconds – more than three seconds ahead of future Stanford college teammate Simone Manuel.
