A senior for the Falcons is <strong>Justin Harrison<\/strong>, who is next in line in the family tree. Also on hand to cheer on her brother was <strong>Julie Harrison<\/strong>, a junior, who like her oldest brother plays for Coach Minnis at Harvard.<\/p>\n<p>I spoke with collected Harrisons\u2014Noah is now in medical school at Vanderbilt and contemplating starting a club team\u2014in the stands of Princeton\u2019s De Nunzio Pool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p><strong>Josh Harrison: <\/strong>My favorite sport\u2019s surfing, and I pushed all three of them really hard to become competent surfers. [Playing water polo] is their form of rebellion! [Laughs] They all learned to surf because when they were young they had to. Eventually when they became teenagers, they told me: \u201cWe like water polo, Dad.\u201d That\u2019s how that happened.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fortunate because by doing that, they ended up in a sport with recruiting [and scholarships]. There\u2019s no collegiate recruiting for competitive surfing.<\/p>\n<p>I was agnostic about it at first but now I\u2019m happy about it.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Your youngest son is following you into a career in the military.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an honor to serve the United States. I served in the Marine Corps; I enlisted in light infantry. When I got my college degree they didn\u2019t have naval ROTC at my school so I got commissioned in the U.S. Army reserve as an officer. My father served in the Army, his brother served in the Navy, their father served in the Marine Corps.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a multi-generational thing in our family.
