Rathgeber Adds Top-20 Finish At NCAA Championships

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Junior Geoff Rathgeber, who earned All-America accolades Thursday, added a second top-20 national finish to his ledger Friday as he took 20th place in the 400-yard individual medley at the NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Rathgeber swam Friday's preliminary race in 3:50.38, leaving him four spots out of the evening's finals. Michigan junior Alex Vanderkaay was the event winner in 3:40.89.

Rathgeber completes his trifecta at the NCAA championships Saturday when he competes in the 200 backstroke. He heads into that event as the No. 9 seed from the season's qualifying.
