Clifton Seahawks Make a Splash at the 2025 Junior State Championship Meet: New Team Records Set!

The Clifton Seahawks had an unforgettable performance at the 2025 Junior State Championship Meet, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their achievements! With a combination of skill, determination, and team spirit, several swimmers broke team records, showcasing the talent and hard work they’ve put in throughout the season.

New Short Course Team Records:

  • Julianne Roldan: 100 Fly, 100 Breast, 100 IM & 200 IM
  • Alyanna Roldan: 200 Fly
  • Marcelina Korszen, Kayley DaCunha, Alyanna Roldan, Madilyne Hackett: 11/12 400 Medley Relay

These new records are a testament to the dedication and effort our swimmers bring to every practice and meet. We couldn’t be prouder of the athletes who have pushed themselves to new heights this season.

A Special Congratulations to Julianne Roldan!

A standout performance came from Julianne Roldan, who made history by setting multiple records in her events. Julianne earned 1st place in the 10 & under age group and 3rd place in the 12 & under age group.

The Clifton Seahawks’ performances at the Junior State Championship meet have proven that the team is on the rise, with each swimmer continuing to push boundaries and set new personal and team records. These achievements are a reflection of the strong team culture, excellent coaching, and the relentless effort from all of our athletes.

Help Clifton Youth be Future Ready - Give today!

Dear friend of the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton,

At the Club, we believe Great Futures Start Here. We’ve both had the privilege of seeing firsthand the incredible potential in every child we serve. This year, we’re launching our Future Ready Annual Campaign to ensure that our youth are equipped with the skills and support they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

It’s more important than ever to prepare kids for the future. With academic support, mentorship, and a safe space, we can help them navigate challenges and seize opportunities. Our programs are designed to give kids the tools they need to succeed in school, work, and life.

Here is a special message from both of us to hear why this campaign is so important for our community and how your support can make a real difference:
