Thirteen may be a cursed number for most, but for the Harvard men’s swimming and diving team it was a lucky number.

The Crimson (8-0) ended up winning 13 out of 15 events in its last meet of the season against Penn with a final score of 200-99.

“We actually didn’t do very well compared to our performance in other meets,” freshman Sam Wollner said. “But we did expect to beat Penn by that large a margin.”

While the team as a whole took home most of the wins of the night, there were multiple individuals who brought in more than one first-place finish.

“From the start [the Quakers] didn’t really seem to be intense about swimming us,” freshman Geoff Rathgeber said. “We still tried our best in every event and we came out on top in everything.”

The most impressive performance was by Rathgeber, who took first place in all the events in which he competed.

Rathgeber was the first one in the pool to start out the meet as the first leg of the 200-yard medley relay. Sophomore Joc Christiana, senior James Lawler and freshman Pat Quinn finished out the relay with a time of 1:35.20 for the win. The Crimson’s other relay teams also did well, with the B-team finishing third and the C-team right behind in fourth.

Rathgeber’s first individual win came in the 100-yard backstroke, in which he led a one-two-three finish. He was followed by sophomore Jonathan Loch in second and senior Ryan Smith in third.

“I knew that it wasn’t going to be that challenging,” Rathgeber said. “I tried to focus on small things like turns and breakouts in my strokes and it paid off for me and I did what I wanted to do.”

Rathgeber also took home first in the 200-yard backstroke, with Wollner taking third.

Rathgeber then finished out the evening by winning the 200-yard IM, followed by sophomore Jason Degnan-Rojeski in second and Smith in fourth.

“[Rathgeber] came in and did well and he has performed really well in every meet this year,” Wollner said. “Hopefully we can all do that well.”

Rathgeber was not the only one to bring in multiple first-place finishes for Harvard. Every other member of the winning 200-yard medley relay also brought in other wins for the Crimson team.

Christiana went on to lead a one-two finish the 100-yard breaststroke, followed by senior Alexander Siroky in second.

Lawler helped to finish out the meet with a win in the 100-yard butterfly, followed by Quinn with a second-place finish and junior Stephen Norberg in fourth.
