2013 World Championship Trials as reported by swimswam:
Katie Ledecky led the women’s 800 freestyle from start to finish. Ledecky was under world record time until the 300 meter mark. Chloe Sutton stayed within striking distance of Ledecky for the entire race getting within six tenths of a second at the 650 meter mark, but each time Sutton made a push Ledecky had an answer and went on to win the event in a time of 8:22.41. Her season’s best of 8:20.64 is the fastest time done in the world this year.
Sutton finished second in a time of 8:23.24, which puts her third in the world behind Ledecky and New Zealand’s Lauren Boyle. She was followed by Gillian Ryan who finished third in a time of 8:29.80.
