Former Ranger, 24, heading up synchronized swimming programs on Carribean island

Alissa Moberg bought a one-way ticket to the Caribbean island in June to start work as the head coach of one of the country’s two synchronized swimming clubs and as acting coach of the Jamaican national program.

“I’m the face of synchro in Jamaica,” the 24-year-old said last week while back stateside. See more in Clint Riese’s Forest Lake Times exclusive.
