Franklin and Ledecky Add U.S. Titles Missy Franklin won the 100-meter backstroke at the national championships in Indianapolis, and Katie Ledecky, 16, moved into position to chase one of the toughest feats in swimming. Franklin finished in 58.67 seconds, setting a United States open and long-course championship record. Ledecky finished the 400 freestyle in 4 minutes 4.05 seconds. If she wins the 1,500 free Saturday, she could swim in the 200, 400, 800 and 1,500 at next month's world championships.
