Pallister Upsets Ledecky at Pan Pacs

Lani Pallister defeated Katie Ledecky in both the 400m freestyle, 3:58.42 to 4:00.15, and 800m freestyle, 8:06.10 to 8:07.26. The 800m result ended Ledecky's 14-year unbeaten streak and made their rivalry a central LA2028 storyline. Pallister's subsequent 1:51.99 short-course 200m at the Australian Short Course Championships and scheduled 1500m reinforce her versatility, though Ledecky is not racing at that meet.
