Coach's Corner

What a great meet Hurricanes! Even though we didn’t win, I still saw lots of awesome swims, good sportsmanship, and swimmers cheering for their teammates. Lots of swimmers tried new events this meet, and it was great to see other swimmers encouraging them so they weren’t so nervous and could really put their all in swimming. We really showed Ridgetop how hard we’ve been working in practice and how that hard work pays off!

Besides swimmers cheering on their teammates, it was great to see all the swimmers cheering us on in the Parents' and Coaches' Relays. Your cheering really made all of us super excited to swim that relay and it showed our team spirit! Thanks to all the parents who swam in the relays with us!

As we enter our last week of the regular season, I want to thank all of you for making this season such a great one! I have really enjoyed coaching you all and watching you all improve and grow closer as a team. Keep up the good work and go Hurricanes!

Coach Ashley

Hurricanes of the Week

Finlay Short

Finlay has been working hard this year to improve her strokes, and it is paying off. She earned a Champs qualifying times in the freestyle and backstroke. Finlay brings a great attitude to each meet and practice and is always full of joy! Congratulations, Finlay!

Mercer Hutcheson

Mercer is a hard-working swimmer and has been willing to try any event the coaches put him in. Last night, he tried his hand at the 100 IM and had a great swim in that event. Then, at the end of the evening, he stepped in to help his team fill a relay spot! We always love Mercer's positive energy and willing spirit as a member of the Hurricane team! Way to go, Mercer!
