Geoff Rathgeber earned All-America accolades in the 200 IM
*MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. --* Harvard junior Geoff Rathgeber began his busy
weekend at the NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships with an
All-America performance in the 200-yard individual medley Thursday as he
took 11th in that event at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.
Rathgeber, who qualified for the championships in three events, began
his outing by finishing third in the B Final of the 200 IM as he touched
the wall in 1:45.37. Rathgeber swam 1:45.62 in the morning
preliminaries, finishing 12th in the early session to qualify for the
second-level final.
Harvard earned six points in the team standings based on Rathgeber's
finish.
Rathgeber's schedule continues Friday as he competes in the 400 IM. He
will complete his competition Saturday in the 200 backstroke. Complete
