Schroeder YMCA’s Ziyad Saleem and Alana Berlin each had big weekends at a club invite in Wisconsin.
Saleem, who initially committed to the University of Iowa but is looking for alternative options now that the program’s been cut, again blazed to a lifetime best in the 100 back. He clocked a 47.51, his first time under 48 and a drop of seven-tenths.
Saleem also posted a 45.53 in the 100 free, his first time under 46 in the event, and split 20.27 on Schroeder’s 200 free relay.
