Berlitz to compete at NCAA Championships

Danny Berlitz, a Marian graduate and four-time Times News Swimmer of the Year, will compete in two events at the NCAA Swimming Championships.

The University of Michigan sophomore finished second in the 400 Individual Medley at the Big Ten meet to qualify in that event. Berlitz posted a time of 3:41.45 to punch his ticket to the NCAAs. The time was also the 10th fastest in school history. He is seeded 10th in the NCAAs, which will be held from March 24-27 in Greensboro, NC.

Berlitz was also a member of the winning 800-yard freestyle relay at the Big Ten championships. The foursome finished in a time of 6:13.00, with Berlitz’s split at 1:33.71. The relay team will be ranked seventh at the NCAAs.

In addition to those accomplishments, the former high school standout also placed seventh in the 1,650 freestyle (15:03.97) and ninth in the 200 IM (1:44.15) at the Big Ten meet.

His performance earned him a spot on the All-Big Ten First Team.
