Coach Lemley on Joann:[quote]Joann is one of our returning core swimmers. This is her fourth year and she will become one of only three girls who will have swum all four years for UAF from the first day we started this new program. She makes my job easy by being absolutely dependable. If she[apos]s had a bad day at practice in the last three years, she[apos]s kept it completely hidden from me. In addition to her high level of commitment to school and swimming, over the last two years Joann has revealed a strong almost [apos]Alaskan[apos] streak of rugged individualism and a terrific sense of humor.[quote]
