Before 2011, no team from the University of Alaska Fairbanks had made the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships. That all changed with the Nanooks women's team as they made history, taking the GNAC and West Region by storm to qualify for the National Championships. After placing fourth at the 2011 GNAC Championships, the women's team went on to take fourth-place out of 24 teams at the 2011 NCAA West Regionals race in Spokane, Wash. This finish was helped by a pair of USTFCCCA All-Region finishes by Theresia Schnurr and Crystal Pitney, and propelled the Nanooks to the national stage two weeks later. Entering the National Championships, the Nanooks were ranked No. 19 in the country; they would go on to take 17th in Spokane, Wash. on Nov. 19, 2011 with Raphaela Sieber, Schnurr and Pitney all placing in the top-100.
