Coaches Quote
Head coach
Ksenia Gromova had this to say on heading to NCAA's with Fletcher-Stables, "We are very excited to represent Alaska at Nationals after five seasons of no representation. Charlotte is ready to race hard, she has a one of a kind character. I am very inspired and excited about what the future holds for Nanooks swimming. I am determined to qualify more swimmers for NCAA's next year. Right now we are going to focus on Charlotte's 100 backstroke. It's ironic that my last race at my final NCAA's was the 100 backstroke and my first NCAA swimmer is a 100 backstroker. I did improve a lot and got second in the final breaking my school record. I hope Charlotte does just as well or better!"
