The Louisburg Barracudas are considered a dynasty in the South Suburban Swim League.

The Barracudas are in the midst of six consecutive league titles and haven’t lost a meet since 2009. They don’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.

Louisburg kicked off its season Saturday when it hosted Butler (Mo.) at the Louisburg Aquatic Center. In true Barracuda fashion, they won going away, 416-56, to pick up right where they left off a year ago.

Five Barracudas won all five events they swam in. Sabra Brueggen (8-and-under girls), Sydney Keaton (11-12 girls), Madelyn Prettyman (13-14 girls), Kadisyn Kircher (15-and-over girls) and Brayton Brueggen (9-10 boys) all took home five first-place ribbons.

Even more impressive, five more swimmers won four events as they took care of Butler. Emma Prettyman (9-10 girls), Meagan Walker (15-and-over girls), William Goode (9-10 boys), Weston Guetterman (11-12 boys) and Trae Johnsen (13-14 boys) provided the Barracudas with several team points.

Sabra Brueggen began her quest for her five first-place ribbons in the 100-meter medley relay as she joined Macie Baima, Ashley Branine and Hannah Farrington to win in 2 minutes and 11 seconds. The same relay team also won the 100 freestyle in 1:46.

Sabra later went on to win the 25-meter butterfly (20.28), 25 backstroke (20.38) and 100 individual medley (1:36) to complete her five victories.

Keaton also fared well in the 11-12 girls division as she captured victories in the 50 freestyle (33.65), 50 breaststroke (47.19) and 200 individual medley (3:21).

She also helped Madison Quinn, Sarah Minor and Maddie Kelly win the 200 medley relay in 3:03. Keaton also joined Mable Graham, Kelly and Minor to win the 200 freestyle relay in 2:37.

Madelyn Prettyman dominated in her five victories as she pulled away from the field in each event. She won the 50 butterfly (31.75), 50 backstroke (34.49) and 200 individual medley (2:45).

Avery Graham, Ashley Moore, Trinity Moore joined Madelyn to win the 200 freestyle relay in 2:19. Madelyn also helped Kaitlyn Lewer, Elizabeth Kratochvil and Trinity Moore to win the 200 medley relay in 2:40.

Kircher also had a good day for the Barracudas as she captured titles in the 50 breaststroke (43.38), 50 backstroke (35.60) and 200 IM (2:41).

Kircher, Teagan Myers, Walker and Avery Graham won the 200 medley relay in 2:44, while Kircher, Myers, Walker and Kratochvil won the 200 freestyle relay in 2:26.

Brayton Brueggen was the lone boy to win five events for Louisburg. Brayton was victorious in the 50 butterfly (48.60), 50 backstroke (45.81) and 100 IM (1:39.77).

Brayton, along with Goode, Josh Holtzen and Braden Branine won the 100 medley relay in 1:47 and the 100 freestyle relay in 1:27.

The Barracudas will try for their second victory of the season this Saturday when they travel to Kansas City, Mo., to face off with the Woodson Sharks.
