Happy Father’s Day, Hurricane families!

While we didn’t take home the win this weekend, the Hurricanes showed up strong with incredible team spirit, great attitudes, and, yes—elite snack enthusiasm! We saw numerous personal bests and a significant milestone:

Olive Dunn broke a long-standing HRA record in the 13–14 Girls’ 50Y Backstroke, a record that had stood since 1978!  🎉 Congratulations, Olive—what an incredible accomplishment!

We’re proud of all our swimmers and grateful for the fantastic volunteers who keep things running—and a big shoutout to our coaches for bringing the energy, encouragement, and know-how that help our swimmers get better every week!
