Barracudas roll to 11th straight league title
Members of the Louisburg Barracudas were all smiles after they won their 11th consecutive South Suburban Swim League title Saturday in Raytown, Mo.
Nothing about what the Louisburg
Barracudas have done over the last decade has gotten old.
In fact, after every one of the
Barracudas’ last 10 South Suburban Swim League championships, it has a new
feeling to it and No. 11 was no different.
The Barracudas captured their 11th
consecutive swim league title Saturday in Raytown, Mo., as they downed the
Woodson Sharks 570-420 in the five-team league race at the SSSL meet. It capped
what was a very successful day for the Barracuda team and individually.
In the high-point competition,
Louisburg had 11 swimmers finish in the top three of their respective age divisions
and four of those were crowned high-point champions.
Colin Brown (9-10 boys), Samuel
Johnson (11-12 boys), Emma Prettyman (13-14 girls) and Maddie Prettyman
(15-and-over girls) each won high-point titles to lead the way for Louisburg.
Vivian Goode (8-and-under girls),
Andrew Jamison (9-10 boys), Ella Dischinger (11-12 girls) and Claire Brown
(13-14 girls) took second overall, while Matthew Farrington (8-and-under boys),
Ashley Branine (11-12 girls) and Cole Brown (15-and-over boys) finished in
third.
Individually, Louisburg won league
titles in 24 events. Colin Brown, Maddie Prettyman and Samuel Johnson each won
five events (three individual and two relays) to lead the way, while Ella
Dischinger and Andrew Jamison each finished with four league titles.
Prettyman led the 15-and-over
girls with an impressive performance as she won the 50-yard butterfly (27.62 seconds),
50 backstroke (29.01) and 200 individual medley (2 minutes and 23 seconds). She
also joined Mary McElyea, Emma Johnson and Dagen Page to win the 200 freestyle
relay (1:56) and 200 medley relay (2:06).
Brown did the same for the 9-10
boys and he was a league champion in the 50 freestyle (30.82), 50 butterfly
(35.72) and 100 individual medley (1:23).
He also helped Andrew Jamison, Brayden
Vohs and Lincoln Nielson to victory in the 100 medley relay (1:13) and 100
freestyle relay (1:07). Jamison also won two individual league titles in the 50
breaststroke (42.65) and 50 backstroke (41.67).
Johnson also had a big day with
league titles in the 50 freestyle (27.21), 50 butterfly (28.99) and 50
backstroke (34.73). Josiah McCaskill, Connor Aadland and Colton Prettyman also
teamed up with Johnson to win the 200 medley relay (2:24) and 200 freestyle
relay (2:06).
Dischinger led the Barracuda 11-12
girls as she won league titles in the 50 freestyle (30.61) and 50 breaststroke
(41.80). She also teamed up with Hannah Farrington, Ashley Branine and Janie
Harth to win the 200 medley relay (2:36) and 200 freestyle relay (2:16).
The Barracudas also had a few
others capture league titles as Dagen Page won the 50 freestyle (27.75) for the
15-and-over girls, Vivian Goode won the 25-yard breaststroke (25.57) in the
