Weinberger Wins Silver Medal in Argentina 10km, Headed to Olympic Qualifier in June

Richard Weinberger nabbed the silver medal today in the last of his week-long stretch of races, with a stellar performance in the 10km in Argentina.  His main competition was once again World Champion Spiros Gianniotis, though this time Richard was even closer to touching him out for the gold medal.

The race was so tight that eight swimmers were challenging for the top spots up until the last 200m, with the last 75m coming down to Gianniotis and Weinberger, the difference between them being less than a second.

This 2^nd place finish coupled with Richard’s bronze medal last week means he will be headed to Portugal in June for the Olympic Qualification race!  Congratulations to Richard and Coach Ron Jacks!
