November 18-20, 2022 Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center, Brown Deer, Wisconsin Short Course Yards (25 yards), Prelims/Finals Full Meet Results (PDF) 15-year-old Alana Berlin of the host Schroeder YMCA led a group of young talent on display the weekend before Thanksgiving at the Western Great Lakes Open. Berlin swam best times in the 100 back (53.46), 100 fly (54.41), and 200 IM (2:01.91), winning all three events. A versatile swimmer with three career Wisconsin LSC Records among the age groups. A high school sophomore, the backstrokes are arguably her best events, though those records in Wisconsin are tough because of who holds them: Maggie Wanezek and Beata Nelson, two of the best junior backstrokers ever.
