The 2017 Men's NCAA Championships were off the blocks at the IUPUI Natatorium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Swimmers with only the 800 free relay contested tonight.
Â
The University of Louisville Cardinals are standing in eighth place tonight after finishing eighth in the relay. NC State leads the field with 40 points followed by Texas, 34, Florida 32, California 30, USC 28, Georgia 26, Stanford 24, Louisville 22, Indiana 18, Wisconsin 14, Michigan 12, Auburn 10, South Carolina 8, Harvard 6, Arizona State 4 and Missouri 2.
Â
The foursome of Matthias Lindenbauer (1:34.06), Trevor Carroll (1:33.46), Grigory Tarasevich (1:32.67) and Zach Harting (1:32.62) combined for a 6:12.81.  The event was won by NC State, with the Wolfpack setting a new NCAA and U.S. Open Record of 6:06.53. Ryan Held led off with a 1:31.37, followed by teammates Andreas Vazaios (1:32.23), Justin Ress (1:32.26), and Soeren Dahl (1:30.67).
Â
"It is always good to start the meet with the relay scoring major points. Good swim for our three seniors and a sophomore who just narrowly missed a news school record. I give credit to the guys who put it together. It is just the first race, but it is points on the board and we will get ready for tomorrow," said UofL head coach Arthur Albiero. Â
