Mihail Alexandrov

Northwestern University Alexandrov, who has dual Bulgarian/USA citizenship, swam for the USA's Northwestern University from 2003 to 2007 where he competed for ASCA Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Groseth, and Assistant Coaches that included Jarod Schroeder. At Northwestern, specializing in IM and breaststroke, Alexandrov established a new NCAA record in the 100 breaststroke, winning the 2007 NCAA Championship title in the event. At the 2007 NCAA championships, he also competed in the breaststroke portion of Northwestern's 400-medley relay team that that won the title in the event, and broke an NCAA record. Northwestern team finished sixth nationally that year, its best finish in recent history.

Alexandrov had three titles at the NCAA Championships, was the recipient of All-America honors 24 times. He was a first-team Big Ten selection in four instances. He set three conference records during his time at Northwestern. He was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the 2007 Conference Championships.

In March 2007 he set a USA National Record in the 100 yard breaststroke (51.56) at the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships, while swimming for Northwestern. This was despite the fact that he had not swum internationally for the US at that time and that he was viewed as a Bulgarian swimmer. The USA Swimming rules at the time allowed for the USA National mark to be set by a swimmer who could represent the US in international competition (his dual citizenship allowed for this) and who at the time of the swim was not representing another country (he was swimming for the country-neutral Northwestern University at the time of the swim). USA Swimming's rules have subsequently been altered so that only swimmers currently representing the USA internationally can set the "American" Record. Alexandrov's record was broken in 2012 by Kevin Cordes.

Careers Alexandrov has worked as a personal trainer in the Los Angeles area where he also coaches swimming.
