Senior Felina Rosadiuk, Junior Mariya Pavlovskaya and coach Scott Lemley have finally arrived in Canton, Ohio. Wednesday the 2010 NCAA National Swimming & Diving Championships will begin and for 4 days Nanook swimming will shine.
We left Fairbanks during a snow storm Saturday night having been up all day tying up loose ends so we could leave town with a clear conscience. We arrived in Canton at 6:00 pm tonight, found our hotel, grabbed a dinner to go from Panera and are settling in.
Tomorrow morning we'll try to get on the wake-sleep schedule that we'll follow the rest of the week.
If you missed the Alaska Nanooks weekend sweep of UAA, here's a video that captures Friday night's 7-4 thumping. Thanks to Thomas Bohnet for making the trip south to capture this:
