Good morning, Stingray Families!

This week marks Senior Sendoff during our last home meet of the season—a special Hunt Valley tradition where we celebrate our graduating athletes before they head off to their next adventure.

This year’s senior class includes 8 incredible athletes:

🏊 Matthew Alexander – Virginia Tech

🏊 Alessa Ciccarello – College of the Holy Cross

🏊 Kevin Cleaver – Point Park University

🏊 Grey Burgess – Liberty University

🤿 Ward Gardiner (Dive Team) – Virginia Commonwealth University🏊 Sophie Holmes – University of Louisville🏊 Dawson McGill – University of Alabama🏊 Rachel Young – James Madison University

Beginning this week, you’ll find a personalized basket for each senior under the pavilion.

💙 We’d love for every Stingray family to help make their sendoff extra special! If you’re able, please stop by and:

• ✍️ Leave a note of encouragement, congratulations, or your favorite Stingray memory.
• 🎁 Add a small treat or gift card (completely optional) to wish them well as they begin this exciting new chapter.

Whether it’s a heartfelt message or a small gift card, every gesture reminds our seniors how much the Hunt Valley family appreciates the years of dedication, leadership, and Stingray spirit they’ve shared with our team.

Let’s fill those baskets with lots of love and send our seniors off in true Stingray fashion!
