available at the Ivy League blog for the championships.
*Scouting the Crimson*
Harvard began the 2008-09 campaign by sweeping Cornell and Dartmouth in
a tri-meet at Blodgett Pool Nov. 15. The Crimson outscored the Big
Green by a large margin, 253-47, while edging the Big Red, 158-142. The
team then doubled-up Columbia to close out the month of November.
Harvard claimed 13 of 16 events against the Lions.
In the first weekend of December, the Crimson traveled to Athens, Ga.,
for the George Invitational. Harvard earned a second-place finish
against some of the nation's best competition, as the team scored more
points than Denver, Clemson and West Virginia. Harvard then visited
Arizona State for the final dual meet before the New Year, as the team
captured six events en route to a 121-108 win.
In a battle of unbeaten teams at Blodgett Pool Jan. 3, the Crimson, 5-0
at the time, handed Navy its first loss of the season by defeating the
Midshipmen, 188-112. Harvard took 11 of the 16 events on the day.
Next, the Crimson extended its win streak to open the season to six
meets, as the squad cruised to a 213-85 win over Penn at home Jan. 10.
In its final dual meet of the year, Harvard won the first six events of
the day to defeat Brown, 169-119, at Blodgett. Harvard headed into the
annual HYP meet, held at Blodgett Pool Jan. 31-Feb. 1, with a 7-0 mark
and 5-0 record in the Ancient Eight. After the first day of
competition, the team held a 96-90 lead over Princeton and 129-57
advantage over Yale after claiming four events and recording seven NCAA
'B' qualifying times. However, on day two, the Tigers amassed 103
points to take a 193-160 decision over Harvard, giving the Crimson its
lone loss of the year. Harvard defeated Yale, 251-102, to complete the
regular season 8-1.
The Crimson then opened the postseason by taking second at the 2009 ECAC
Championships, hosted by Harvard at Blodgett Pool Feb. 27-March 1.
Harvard, looking for a three-peat, performed well, finishing second
after each day of competition.
Harvard has also succeeded outside of the pool this season, as the team
was recently honored with the CSCAA All-Academic team award. The
Crimson posted a cumulative 3.30 grade-point average, the third-best
mark in the country and first among Ivy League schools.
* *
*Last Season at Ivy League Championship*
The Crimson accumulated 1,564 points, well ahead of second-place
Princeton (1,208.5) to cap its perfect season by winning the 2008 Ivy
title. Harvard, ranked 22nd at the time, claimed three events on the
final day of competition and 13 overall en route to the championship.
Geoff Rathgeber '08 was honored with the Philip Moriarty Award as the
Most Outstanding Swimmer at the Ivy League Championship, as well as the
Harold Ulen Award for most career points. He picked up seven All-Ivy
first-team selections, including leading a group of 10 Crimson swimmers
that earned All-Ivy League distinction.

freestyle, 200 medley and the 400 medley. Rathgeber was a 21-time Ivy
