Getting to Know Alexandra...

• enjoys listending to the Dave Matthews Band

• If you could trade places with one of your teammates for day, who would it be and why? Haley Holcombe, because she is one of the most genuine people I know. She is an inspiration on the team for her determination and work ethic and has one of the most graceful butterfly strokes ive ever seen.
