Record-breaking night lifts Men's Swimming and Diving to day-two lead at NCAA Championships

INDIANAPOLIS – Two-time defending NCAA champion Texas took a sizable step toward a third consecutive NCAA team title with four victories, two NCAA records and a new American record Thursday evening on day two at the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.

Texas opened the night six points behind first-place N.C. State, but it would not stay there for long. The Longhorns won their third NCAA 200 freestyle relay title in as many years and its seventh overall, as junior Brett Ringgold, senior Jack Conger, sophomore Tate Jackson and junior Joseph Schooling were victorious in 1 minute, 14.
