son in 2009, the 2010 edition of the Alaska Anchorage ski team returns with the ability to be the best yet. The 2010 roster boasts five AllAmericans, six All-Conference performers and the 2009 RMISA Alpine MVP, sophomore Alex Parker. After finishing a programbest 4th place at the 2009 NCAA Championships, the Seawolves will be aiming for a top-3 team finish this season. A total of 16 returners (7 men, 9 women) will lead a group of eight newcomers (5 men, 3 women). Seven men and women will make up the Alpine team, while the Nordic squad will consist of 10 athletes (5 men, 5 women). In addition to two-time AllAmerican Parker, the Seawolves return a 2008 All-American in senior Kristina Repcinova, who redshirted last season due to an injury. The Alpine duo will be joined by another 2008 All-American on the men’s side, as Egil Ismar returns for his junior season. On the Nordic squad, the Seawolves return two All-Americans from last season, brothers Max Treinen (junior) and Lex Treinen (sophomore). Last season the Seawolves were predicted to finish seventh in the country before surprising the nation with a fourth-place finish. This season, the Seawolves are polled to place on the podium at No. 3, according to the NCAA Skiing Power Rankings preseason poll released in Ski Racing magazine.

TROND FLAGSTAD Head Coach 6th Season
Trond
Flagstad begins his ninth season overall with the University of Alaska Anchorage ski team and his sixth as the head coach for the Seawolf ski program
in 2010. UAA skiers have earned a combined 19 All-America accolades since Flagstad took over the reins of the program, and 46 overall since he joined the Seawolf coaching staff in 2001. Last season, Flagstad made UAA history by leading his team to a program-best fourth place at the NCAA Championships. During his tenure UAA has also recorded a pair of sixth-place finishes at NCAAs and has earned two individual National titles. In 2009, UAA qualified a full team to the NCAAs, produced five All-Americans, six All-Conference honorees, one RMISA MVP, and landed a program-best 13 skiers on the All-Academic team. Flagstad guided UAA to the unofficial title of the nation’s top Nordic squad in 2005, after the team recorded six top-10 finishes at Nationals, including two individual national titles. Mandy Kaempf’s sweep of the women’s classical and freestyle events at the 2005 NCAA Championships marked the first national title for the Seawolf Nordic program since 1997. Flagstad was an assistant with UAA’s Nordic team from 200103. The native of Ottestad, Norway, also coached cross-country running at UAA during the 2001-02 season. A World Cup competitor, he was a sponsored Nordic skier at a top Norwegian national level from 1985 to 2000. Flagstad lines in Anchorage with his wife Lindsey and son Vebjorn.

UAA claimed the overall RMISA Alpine title by combining to score a conference championship meet-best 256 points, producing nine top-10 results. All told, the Seawolf downhillers combined for 25 individual top-10 results during the 2008 season. Anderson came as no stranger to UAA or collegiate ski racing, having coached the Seawolf Alpine squad in 2002, when UAA’s Aurore de Maulmont won the NCAA title in the giant slalom. Prior to coming to Alaska, he was the head ski coach at Brown University in Rhode Island from 1996-2000. Prior to rejoining the UAA coaching staff, Anderson worked as the program director for the Alyeska Ski Club in Girdwood for seven years. A 1991 graduate of the University of Nevada, Anderson earned four letters in skiing with the Wolf Pack, serving as team captain his senior season. After college, he moved to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where he taught skiing for the Flori Woerndle Ski School. A year away from ski racing proved to be too much, and Anderson moved to Innsbruck, Austria, where he spent two years coaching a small FIS team at the Innsbruck International School. After leaving Europe, he moved to New England and spent two years coaching the Eastern Cup team at the Holderness School. In addition to his international experience, he holds USSA’s highest level of coach’s certification and currently serves as the Alaska Division’s USSA coaches education clinician. Over the years, he has been invited to coach at multiple national and regional events.

Nationally known as the strongest and most competitive conference in collegiate skiing, the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association is rich in tradition, history and success. The RMISA is the official association for college and university NCAA skiing teams in the Rocky Mountain region. The conference is comprised of seven NCAA Division I, one Division II and one Division III institutions from eight states. Making up the field is Alaska Anchorage, Colorado, Denver, Montana State, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Whitman College. Charter league member Wyoming began competing (Nordic only) in regular-season events in 2006. Since the introduction of the NCAA Skiing National Championship in 1954, schools from the RMISA have captured 48 of the 55 team titles and 266 of the 375 individual championships.

In nine seasons at the helm of the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic
32
department, Dr. Steve Cobb has helped take Seawolf Athletics to unprecedented heights. Not only have the Seawolves excelled in the field of competition, but the foundation for future success has been set in several ways. The 2007-08 and 2008-09 campaigns were two of the most memorable in school history, highlighted by three Final Four appearances for Seawolf basketball teams (women twice, men once), and NCAA top-15 finishes for men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s skiing, and men’s track & field. With UAA’s concurrent NCAA basketball runs in 2008, UAA became just the second school in Division II history to qualify both its men’s and women’s squads for the national semifinals. Under Dr. Cobb’s leadership, a planning phase is also under way for the construction of a new on-campus sports facility at UAA. He has also recently overseen several upgrades to UAA’s current facilities, including the installation of the new gym floor and the construction of the new All-American/Academic All-American honors wall. In 2005, Dr. Cobb helped establish the Seawolf Legacy Fund to provide a permanent endowment fund that will ensure full funding for future athletic scholarships at UAA. Seawolf Legacy surpassed the $1 million mark in donations in early 2008. Early in his tenure, he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Seawolf Hall of Fame and was instrumental in negotiating naming-rights agreements for the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, Kendall Classic hockey and Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournaments. The Alabama native has also overseen the creation of the Hockey Classic Wall of Champions above the Seawolves’ practice rink, as well as men’s and women’s Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout champions displays in the gymnasium. A former football coach, Dr. Cobb served as the athletic director at Georgia Southwestern State University before coming to UAA. In five years at Georgia Southwestern, Dr. Cobb raised the Hurricanes’ overall program to become one of the most successful in the nation, making the NAIA national playoffs in six of its seven sports and winning multiple conference championships in men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball. From 1992-95, Dr. Cobb was an assistant athletic director at Iowa Wesleyan College, where he served as the football team’s defensive coordinator and special teams coach. He also had stints as an assistant football coach at East Texas State University (1990-92) and Sul Ross State University (1988-90). A 1981 graduate of the University of Montevallo, Dr. Cobb also holds a Doctorate of Education degree from East Texas State as well as a Master of Business Administration degree from St. Ambrose University and a Master of Education degree from Sul Ross State. Dr. Cobb and his wife Sandra reside in East Anchorage.

SEAWOLF ATHLETICS
Nicknamed the Seawolves, UAA’s athletic teams compete as
members of NCAA Division I in men’s ice hockey and women’s gymnastics and NCAA Division II in all other sports, including men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s skiing, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, and women’s cross country. UAA annually hosts the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout men’s and women’s basketball tournament — recognized as one of the top in-season tournaments in the nation — as well as the Kendall Hockey Classic and the Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournament. Since joining the NCAA ranks in 1977, UAA has become a perennial national power in many of its sports. A total of 137 Seawolves have earned All-America honors, and UAA has produced 14 individual national champions since 1991. The Seawolves are coming off perhaps the most successful year in program history in 2008-09, boasting a second straight NCAA Semifinals appearances for women’s basketball, plus the top NCAA finishes ever for skiing, men’s track & field, and both women’s and men’s cross country. UAA also captured league titles in women’s basketball and men’s cross country as well as its first-ever Mountain Pacific Sports Federation gymnastics crown. Seawolves student-athletes have enjoyed unprecedented success in the classroom, compiling a cumulative GPA of 3.0+ in 12 of the last 15 years.
