Women’s swimming legend [autotag]Katie Ledecki[/autotag] punched a ticket to her fourth Olympic Games on Saturday night with a win in the 400-meter freestyle at the U.S. swimming trials.

A crowd of 20,689 cheered her and her competitors on at the home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts and watched as Ledecky touched the wall in the temporary pool set up for the event in 3 minutes and 58.35 seconds.

“I pride myself on that consistency,” she said. “Sometimes it can be tough to feel you’re not having a breakthrough. But being really consistent is something I’m really happy with. I’ve learned to really enjoy training and take advantage of the moment.”

Below is a look at highlights from Ledecki’s efforts at the U.S. swimming trials this weekend.
