The Louisburg Barracudas had a chance to swim in their home waters for the first time this season and they didn’t disappoint.

Louisburg won its third consecutive meet to start the season as it defeated the Golden Valley Swim Club 437-133 last Saturday and ran away with another meet victory. The team out of Clinton, Mo., couldn’t keep up with the Barracudas as they dominated several age groups.

Sabra Brueggen (9- to 10-year-olds) and Madilyn Prettyman (15-and-over) had the best day of all the Barracudas as they finished with five first-place ribbons.

Jesse Faulkner (8-and-under), Claire Brown (9-10), Mable Graham (11-12), Emma Prettyman (11-12) and Sydney Keaton (13-14) each won four first-place ribbons on the girls side. Brayton Brueggen (11-12) and Trae Johnsen (15-and-over) both recorded four first-place finishes for the boys.

Madilyn Prettyman dominated her age division as she won the 50-meter freestyle in 29.94 seconds, the 50 butterfly in 30.28 and 200 individual medley in 2 minutes and 34.43 seconds. Madilyn also helped Teagan Myers, Kaitlyn Lewer and Melia Rice won the 200 medley relay in 2:39 and 200 freestyle in 2:31.

Sabra Brueggen and Brown swept the events in the 9-10 girls class as both girls teamed up with Ashley Branine and Megan Quinn to capture the 100 medley relay in 1:30 and 100 freestyle relay in 1:23.

Brueggen went on to win the 50 butterfly (42.47), 50 backstroke (41.59) and 100 individual medley (1:35). Brown added victories in the 50 freestyle (45.16) and 50 breaststroke (53.15).

Graham and Emma Prettyman did much of the same in the 11-12 girls division. Graham took first in the 50 freestyle (36.59) and 50 backstroke (42.06), while Emma won the 50 butterfly (41.87) and 200 individual medley (3:26).

Catie Lemke and Delanie Tally joined Graham and Emma Prettyman to win the 200 medley relay (2:53) and 200 freestyle relay (2:45).

Keaton helped Sarah Minor, Elizabeth Kratochvil and Avery Graham to victory in the 200 medley relay (2:39) and joined Avery, Kratochvil and Alison Prettyman to win the 200 freestyle relay (2:26) for the 13-14 girls. Keaton also captured first-place ribbons in the 50 freestyle (32.84) and 50 breaststroke (44.31).

Faulkner rounded the top girl placers as she won 25 freestyle (24.84) and 25 butterfly (32.37). She later teamed up with Lola Dubas, Cricket McIntire and Shylah Dowell to win both the 100 medley (2:17) and 100 freestyle (1:51) relays.

On the boy’s side, Trae Johnson won three individual races and a relay. Johnsen took the top spot in the 50 freestyle (27.93), 50 backstroke (33.59) and 200 individual medley (2:36). Johnsen, along with Alex Prettyman, Christopher Tyson and Bret Minor, won the 200 freestyle relay (2:09).

Brayton Brueggen won the 50 backstroke (45.69) and 200 individual medley (3:36) and earlier joined Braden Branine, Cole Brown and Remington Rice to win the 200 medley relay (3:10). Brayton, Brown, Rice and Henry Coolidge finished the meet with a victory in the 200 freestyle relay (2:47).
