By Dan D\u2019Addona.<\/em><\/p>\n

The addition of Katie Ledecky<\/strong> and return of Olympians who took the previous college season off was sure to add a boost to the NCAA Division I Women\u2019s Championships.<\/p>\n

The added firepower was on display in the meet\u2019s opening event as Stanford\u2019s Simone Manuel, Lia Neal, Ella Eastin<\/strong> and Ledecky demolished the NCAA, American and U.S. Open record in the 800-yard freestyle relay on Wednesday in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

The Cardinal finished in a stunning 6:45.91, beating the previous records by nearly two seconds \u2014 set by Stanford at the Pac-12 Championships.<\/p>\n

“It was kind of an unsaid thing. We just knew coming in that we could put together something special,” Ledecky said. “(Coach) put that lineup together so we could get out and hopefully inspire our teammates on Day 1.”<\/p>\n

It worked.<\/p>\n

“Every once in a while, you get the opportunity to do something really special, and that presented itself today,” Stanford coach Greg<\/strong> Meehan<\/strong> said. “We utilized Pac-12s to see what relays Simone was going to be on and Lia was going to be on. Those were the two who had the most room to maneuver. We had an opportunity to put those four together and do something historic and get rolling for the rest of the meet.”<\/p>\n

Manuel led off for Stanford and held off Cal\u2019s Kathleen Baker <\/strong>(1:42.66, a personal best), USC\u2019s Louise Hansson<\/strong>. Virginia\u2019s Leah Smith<\/strong>, Texas\u2019s Madisyn Cox<\/strong> and Michigan\u2019s Gabby DeLoof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Her 1:41.41 split gave Stanford a comfortable lead.<\/p>\n

Neal dove in second, going up against Texas A&M\u2019s Sydney Pickrem<\/strong>, USC\u2019s Tatum Wade<\/strong>, Cal\u2019s Kristen Vredeveld<\/strong>, Texas\u2019s Claire<\/strong> Adams<\/strong> and Michigan\u2019s Rose Bi,<\/strong> keeping the lead with a 1:42.15 split.<\/p>\n

“I feel like the older I get the more anxious I get, so it was really nice to start off the meet with that swim,” Neal said. “We are all very proud of that swim and that time.”<\/p>\n

Neal gave way to Eastin, who went head-to-head with Cal\u2019s Amy Bilquist<\/strong>, Michigan\u2019s Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> and Virginia\u2019s Jen Markkand<\/strong>. Eastin\u2019s split was 1:41.89 to hand the relay over to the fastest female in the world.<\/p>\n

“Having everything be familiar is a good confidence boost for me,” Eastin said. “I was excited to be on the relay where I was potentially going to be the slowest one. That is really fun, and obviously something that no group has done before. It was an honor for me.”<\/p>\n

Ledecky dove in with a two-body lead over Cal\u2019s Katie McLaughlin<\/strong> and Michigan\u2019s G Ryan<\/strong>. It quickly opened to a three-body-length lead. Ledecky\u2019s split was 1:40.46.<\/p>\n

“Going last, I could see everyone going so fast and that calmed the nerves,” Ledecky said.<\/p>\n

But Ledecky\u2019s split wasn\u2019t the fastest of the night.<\/p>\n

Mallory Comerford<\/strong> swam the second leg with a 1:40.2 split for Louisville in the second heat, leading the Cardinals to second in the heat (6:58.41) and eighth overall (6:58.41).<\/p>\n

Cal finished second (6:51.42), followed by Michigan (6:53.63), Texas (6:54.83) and Virginia (6:55.97).<\/p>\n
