IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Two Bucs beat Indians
years to the day the To-
kyo Olympics open, Katie
Ledecky is swimming as
fast as ever, Caeleb Dres- for 11th straight
sel is heralded as a poten-
tial Michael Phelps and
Missy Franklin is attempting
a comeback.
As for Ryan Lochte, he’s
banned again.
Ledecky is entered in
five events at this week’s
U.S. national champion-
ships, including a double
in the 100-meter freestyle
and 800 free on Wednes-
day. The five-time Olym-
pic champion is back in
Irvine, where she set one
of her 14 world records in
the 400 free at the 2014
edition of the meet. “That Pittsburgh Pirates’ Josh Bell looks
was a memorable one, not
to say all of them aren’t,” up after hitting a two-run home
Ledecky said Tuesday. “But run in the fifth inning of a baseball
that was especially memo- game against the Cleveland
rable and that was my first
meet at this pool. I do like Indians, Tuesday, July 24, 2018, in
this pool, and I’m hoping Cleveland.
that I can put up some
good swims this week.” Associated Press
