Don’t apply swimming techniques to academic challenges, you cannot negative split a semester.

If you’ve got finals around the corner, we hope you paced your semester like a smooth Ledecky 1650.

Fun Tuesday FACT: @Mal_Comerford is the 1st woman in HISTORY to break 4:36 (4:35.78) in the 500 FR and 22 (21.87) in the 50 FR #RANGE?? pic.twitter.com/SZD61CUu1w

A fun fact, indeed.
Those are great!
MC does have amazing range, but Ledecky is still the Queen of range with her speed at the 100 to her dominance in the mile. When Mal throws down on the 1500 as well then let’s talk…
I mean when strictly looking at yards. Map is way faster at a 50, significantly faster at a 100. They’re tied in the 200. Ledecky is significantly faster in the 500 and way better at the mile (in guessing) so it’s kinda equal
