After earning NCAA All-American honors during the indoor season, Berger is back it in full force for the outdoor campaign.
The fleet-of-foot senior glided her way to an auto-qualifying time in the 1,500-meter run and established the top time in Division II this season.
Berger crossed the line in 4:18.67 at the Raleigh Relays at N.C. State University as she finished eighth in a field of 136 runners, virtually all from Division I schools.
The 4:18.67 is actually second in conference history to Cedarville’s Carsyn Koch, who ran 4:12.19 at the Bryan Clay Invite last year.
Out of 18 provisional times clocked in the country this spring, Berger and teammate Andra Lehotay rank first and second in the 1,500m distance.
