Berger made a splash in her Great Midwest debut by establishing a new conference record in the 5K Ric Sayre Invitational that Walsh hosted.
The Cavaliers finished first as a team and Berger led the way with a runner-up performance and an impressive time of 17:25.40.
Her time officially topped Carsyn Koch of Cedarville and the 17:53.00 she ran at the 2015 NCCAA Championships.
Berger was a defender for the 2016 Walsh soccer team and ran in the NCAA DII Midwest Regional following her postseason on the pitch. She would finish 22nd in the regional as the Cavaliers placed ninth as a team.
