Coach's Corner
I hope that everyone will enjoy the few days of rest and relaxation over this Independence Day holiday! We have all definitely earned it!
This week's meet was incredibly close, especially considering that Three Chopt had more than 25 extra swimmers on their roster for the meet! Our small and mighty Hurricane force did not back down to the waves of the Three Chopt Tsunami.
With only two weeks of meets remaining in our season, it's important to remember, the hard work continues and we constantly work to better our times and show great sportsmanship.
As I reflect on another lap around the sun on the eve of my birthday, I also think the many seasons of coaching in my past. This season has been one of the most fun and has shown some of the greatest energy from the athletes I have ever seen. You all are a truly amazing team and I cannot wait to see what awaits you at our two final meets (both on home turf!).
Best of luck, Hurricanes!

Hurricanes of the Week
Female - Catherine Makris
Catherine is one of our newest and youngest swimmers this season, having completed the Pre-Team program last summer. After a few weeks of some challenging backstroke races and a few DQs, Catherine has continued practicing and working very hard. Determined to make this week's backstroke have a good result, Catherine was off like a rocket and swam an incredibly strong and very quick backstroke race! Way to go, Catherine!
Male - Owen Gray
Owen represented his age group as the only 13-14 male swimmer last night, swimming as one of two swimmers in his 100 Freestyle and one of three swimmers in his 50 Backstroke. He won 2nd place in the freestyle and 1st place in his division for the backstroke in what was a very tight race! Having swimmers to enter into these races keeps our team competitive. Owen has shown himself to be a leader on our team and a valuable contributor to our team score! Well done, Owen!

Breaststroke Clinic Opportunity
Our 9-year-old to 12-year-old swimmers are invited to join NOVA Head Coach Geoff Brown on Monday, July 9th from 10:00-11:00am (during their normal morning practice time).
This is a great opportunity to brush up on breaststroke just in time for our meet Monday night!
