🔥🐭 River Rats Spotlight 🐭🔥

Huge congratulations to Steven Dougherty on an incredible performance at the 2026 Eastern Zone Age Group Championships! 💪🏊‍♂️

Competing against the very best swimmers in the entire Northeast US, Steven rose to the challenge and delivered in a big way — earning an outstanding ‼️FIVE‼️ Top 8 finishes 🌟👏

That kind of consistency at this level is no small feat. It takes grit, focus, and relentless work… and Steven showed all of it.

We’re proud of the way you represented the River Rats on one of the biggest stages — and this is just the beginning 🚀

Show Steven some River Rats love in the comments for this huge feat! 🎉🐭
