Rathgeber Maintains Pace; Takes 200 Breast

The 2007-08 EISL Swimming and Diving Championships are quickly turning into the Alex Righi-Geoff Rathgeber show.

The defending co-Moriarty Trophy (High-Point scorers) winners are both making a strong case for the award again this year. After Righi destroyed the competition in the 100 Free, Rathgeber did the exact same in the 200 Breast — finishing almost three full seconds faster than his closest competitor.

Rathgeber did everything right on the swim, and at the midpoint of the race he was ahead of Meet record pace. Unfortunately, without challengers pushing the leader for the duration of the race, Rathgeber could not maintain the blistering pace he put down in the first 100 yards. He finished the race at 1:58.97.

But he did win yet again, secured full points yet again, and gets to enjoy being written about yet again. But I’m running out of things to say about him…

Ahh yes, his family is really nice too.
