Rathgeber scored one of his victories in the 400 individual medley. Rathgeber also notched an earlier victory in the 100 meter breaststroke.

...Harvard track and field stars continued to shine on Saturday at the Harvard Invitational, with sophomore Lindsey Scherf qualifying for her second NCAA Indoor Championships event in as many weeks. Scherf, who qualified for the 5,000-meter run with a school-record time against Boston College last week, won the 3,000-meter event Saturday with a time of 9:20.51.
