Granted things are likely to change after Junior Nationals, but as of today Ledecky has the fastest time in the US for a sixteen year old regardless of sex. The fastest boy is at 15:23. I bet that doesn't happen often!
no girl will come close to her at njo's.
and fyi, her having the fastest time for a 16yo is the ONLY time in history it has happened.
but to put it into perspective, her new WR in the 1500 would get herself lapped by the men (yang is just 4 years older). long course.
she has some super amazing times and swims so far. i hope she keeps it up.
the same medal, usually less fame, double the workout and a race that takes 30x longer than the winner of the 50.
ld is a cruel life.
