Smith Point Wins The 2025 East Hampton Tournament

Smith Point Lifeguards did well at the 2025 East Hampton Lifeguard Tournament, showcasing grit, speed, and teamwork in one of the toughest competitions of the summer. Facing fierce competition from elite teams across Long Island, Smith Point rose to the challenge with strong performances throughout the tournament. The tournament opened with a grueling 2K beach run under hot, humid conditions, where runners pushed the pace early. The team continued their decent performance in the ocean with a fourth place finish in the distance swim and run-swim-run.

One of the most technical events, the landline rescue, saw Smith Point coming in second place between swimmers and shoreline pullers. Their board relay team kept momentum going, navigating through challenging surf with speed and precision. The 4 x 100 relay had a minor fumble, but came in second place.

The tournament concluded with the always-thrilling beach flags event, where Smith Point athletes proved their agility and explosive speed in the sand. Koch wins flags! … And Martin, Chase and Dylan all made the finals. Every point mattered, and thanks to their depth and determination across all events, Smith Point Boys Team earned the overall victory. Congratulations!

The Smith Point Girls Team delivered a strong performance at the 2025 East Hampton Lifeguard Tournament, placing 5th overall in a fiercely competitive field. The team showcased grit and teamwork in a series of demanding events that tested both endurance and speed.

In the 2K beach run, Juliette led the charge with a 2nd place finish at 9:54, followed by Plummer (12th, 11:35) and Julia (19th, 13:25). The distance swim saw three top-10 finishes: Brenna and Ottman came in 6th and 7th (7:39), and Eva took 9th (8:12), helping Smith Point gain early momentum.

A highlight of the day was the landline rescue, where the team of Cate (2:08), Juliette, Plummer, and Maddie took 1st place, executing with flawless timing. In the paddle relay, Smith Point battled tough conditions and a sweep heat, finishing 8th with decent efforts from Brooke, Maddie, Kyla, and Morgan.

The 4×100 beach relay team—Brenna, Plummer, Kyla, and Juliette—secured 6th, while the run-swim-run squad took a 3rd place finish, led by Grace and Brenna (both 3:04).
