For Berglund, this will be a second go-round at states as she qualified to advance once before but was unable to because it was canceled due to COVID.
Fleming looks forward to her coming up to the varsity level next year.
“She has beaten several boys this year,” adds Fleming. “Her work ethic in the room is fantastic.”
