Results for All-Women Lifeguard Tournament 2012 On Wednesday, July 25, 195 women lifeguards competed in the 28th annual All-Women Lifeguard Tournament, held at Gateway's Sandy Hook Unit. This is the oldest and largest all-women lifeguard tournament in the United States. The ten contests demonstrate how smart, strong women save lives through tests of strength and endurance in the skills used by lifeguards every day. Contestants were organized into two divisions based on the size of overall staffs. Women from New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Maryland competed in races including ocean-kayak, surf rescue and Ironwoman. Individual top performers for the entire competition were Julia Wisler from Sea Colony, Delaware for Division I and Ashley Smith from Jones Beach, New York for Division II. Both women also won the Ironwoman races for their respective divisions. Individual race results can be found here. A full roster of contestants can be found here.
