Interesting to see in senior ladies
Alexie Mieskoski and Elena Pulkinen
These surnames are Finnish. Maybe they have Finnish background. Pulkinen would be spelled Pulkkinen in Finland but I am sure it originates from Finnish language. Of course, many Finns moved to USA in 1800 century and since then.
Plus Camden Pulkinen will compete among the Junior Men at Nats. And he will compete for the U.S. at the Youth Olympic Games.
The two Pulkinens are siblings, I would assume? Both represent Coyotes SC of Arizona.
(Must say that I am very surprised that Mieskoski is considered a Finnish surname.
Looks/sounds so Slavic to me.)
