On this date in area sports history …
Forty two years ago on this date, March 13, 1967, Sports Illustrated listed a Wittenberg swimmer in its Faces in the Crowd:
Carl Berg, 21-year-old captain of Wittenberg University’s swimming team in Springfield, Ohio, averaged 11 points per meet for four years to become the school’s first student ever to score over 500 points. Carl holds every school freestyle record from 100 to 1,000 yards.

This is just another reminder of Davey Mauer’s influence on student athletes at Wittenberg University. He was my coach for 3 years and the major reason for my success as a swimmer and an adult.
