Day 2 Prelims Heat Sheet
After setting two school records last night, West Virginina 5th-year Danny Bertlitz has opted out of the 200 IM and will instead focus on the 50 free. Leading off the Mountaineer’s 800 free relay last night, Berlitz set a new school record of 1:34.93 as he and the rest of the squad finished in 6:24.88. Before last night the individual 200 free record stood at 1:35.55, with the relay record standing at 6:26.02.
Berlitz was the 8th seed (1:45.90) in the 200 IM and his scratch is a little surprising as he placed 5th last year (1:43.94), but as evident by his 200 free record, WVU may believe that he can do more damage in the 50 free, where he is seeded just 48th with a time of 21.16, but has a PB of 19.89 from Big 12’s last year.
Berlitz’s chances of jumping into a final in the 50 free will be a little higher as two top 16 seeds dropped the event. Both Cincinnati’s Hunter Gubeno (#10 -019.66) and BYU’s Jordan Tiffany (#15 -19.75) have scratched out of the event, with Gubeno looking to improve upon his 2nd place seeding in the 200 IM and Tiffany likely looking to defend his 100 fly title tomorrow.
