This is both of their first Worlds teams, with Gemmell finally securing a spot after getting left home last year after Ledecky dropped the individual race. Make it two swimmers in this event making the Worlds team for the first time; Josh Matheny took second in a big swim of his own. So, even though she was short of her own American record, it’s still a great swim for her as she gets a spot on an international team in the 200 back for the first time since 2019.
