East Hampton Village lifeguards honored after regional tournament wins
Summary
Village officials and residents recognized the East Hampton Village lifeguard teams after strong showings at the Long Island lifeguard tournament — the women's 4x1 relay took first place and Hannah Rosenheck won the beach‑flags event.
The East Hampton Village Board recognized village lifeguards on July 31 after the teams returned from the Long Island lifeguard tournament. Deputy mayor said the village team "won" and invited residents to attend a demonstration and awards acknowledgement at the podium.
"The 4 by 1 team, we got 1st place, the women's team," a lifeguard representative said, naming Sarah O'Brien, Annabelle Case, Hannah Rosenheck and Addie Varleta. Officials also noted Hannah Rosenheck's first-place finish in the beach-flags event, describing the competition as high-level and well-attended by ocean-beach teams across Long Island.
Why it matters: Village lifeguards are both a public-safety presence and a community attraction at Main Beach; officials framed the tournament success as evidence of training and community pride. Deputy mayor and others urged residents to attend next year's events and praised the lifeguards' morale and athleticism.
The board's recognition was brief and ceremonial; no formal action or funding request was recorded in the meeting minutes relating to the team awards.
