Rathgeber also set the new standard for the 200 IM with a 1:45:62 finish, earning himself an NCAA “A” qualifying time and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament in Washington later this month.

If the Crimson (17-9, 10-2 Ivy) defeat Brown (2-24, 1-11) and Yale (8-17, 6-6) on the road this weekend, the team will clinch the Ancient Eight title and earn an automatic bid into the NCAA Championships.
