Last Time Out
The Nanooks have not seen competition since Halloween weekend when they were in Santa Barbara, Calif. taking on the Westmont College Warriors in a two-day meet. They won the opening day and then took the win day two, 242-164. Prior to that, the Nanooks hosted Nebraska Kearney and knocked off the Lopes on both days, 142-63 and 142-61. This weekend's meet will be the Winter Invitational.
Looking Ahead
The Nanooks will have the rest of the calendar year off following their trip to La Verne. When they get back to campus in 2022, they'll be welcomed back by two home-meets, the first of which will come on Jan. 14-15 when they host the University of the Incarnate Word. Two weeks later, on Jan. 28-29, they'll host Loyola Marymount.
They'll then head to PCSC Championships in St. George, Utah on Feb. 16-19.
Captains
The Alaska Nanooks swim team has announced their team captains. Interim coach
Kelsey Leeson has chosen
Whitney McArthur, Laini Lioi and
Gabrielle Davy to lead the way for the 'Nooks this 21-22 season.
Leeson had this to say about her three captains, "I am very proud to announce the captains for the 2021-22 season;
Whitney McArthur,
Gabrielle Davy and
Lainey Lioi. I'm looking forward to helping them lead the team for the next nine months. I think this trio will work well together and will use their varying skillsets to enhance our performance during training and competitions."
New Territory
This will be the Nanooks first event with La Verne since the programs revitalization in 2005.
