The Barracudas didn’t disappoint.

Louisburg held off Harrisonville (Mo.) to win the league crown with 622 points and Harrisonville finished in second with 577 in the five-team meet on July 21 at the Louisburg Aquatic Center.

It was another meet and another victory for the Louisburg Barracuda swim team Saturday.

The Barracudas hosted the Golden Valley Swim Club from Clinton, Mo., and coasted to a 367-157 victory over the Dolphins at the Louisburg Aquatic Center.

Louisburg also fared well individually as it had eight swimmers that won four or more first-place ribbons and three of them finished with five victories on the day.

Claire Brown (11-12 girls), Madelyn Prettyman (15-and-over girls) and Casey Carpenter-Ross (9-10 boys) each came away with five wins to lead the way for Louisburg.

Madilyn also won three individual events in the 50 freestyle (30.10), 50 breaststroke (40.0) and 200 IM (2:36). Kircher also had a big day for the Barracudas as she captured the 50 butterfly (33.59) and 50 backstroke (34.12).

Carpenter-Ross shined for Louisburg as he won the 9-10 boys 50 freestyle (39.78), 50 butterfly (48.87) and 100 individual medley (1:44). He also teamed up with Colin Brown, Andrew Jamison and Braxton Koechner to win the 100 medley relay (1:35) and 100 freestyle relay (1:28).

Barracudas breeze past Woodson in season opener

Louisburg’s Casey Carpenter-Ross swims the freestyle Saturday during the Barracudas’ home opener against Woodson. Carpenter-Ross won five events to help lead the Barracudas to an easy win over Woodson.

 

The last time the Louisburg Barracudas lost a swim meet was in 2009, and after Saturday’s season opener, that streak is still intact.

Louisburg hosted the Woodson Sharks out of Raytown, Mo., at the Louisburg Aquatic Center and the Barracudas coasted to a 354-145 victory. It was a good start for the Barracudas as they begin their quest for a 10th consecutive South Suburban Swim League championship.

The Barracudas had a pair of swimmers who garnered five first place ribbons Saturday and three more that ended with four top finishes.

Madelyn Prettyman (15-and-over girls) and Casey Carpenter-Ross (9-10 boys) each won five events on the day, while Ella Dischinger (9-10 girls), Emma Prettyman (13-14 girls) and Remington Rice (13-14 boys) captured four first-place ribbons.

Madelyn won the 50-meter butterfly in 30.39 seconds, the 50 backstroke in 32.61 and the 200 individual medley in 2 minutes and 35.96 seconds. Kadisyn Kircher, Kaitlyn Lewer and Isabelle Holtzen joined Madelyn to win the 200 medley relay with a time of 2:22.70 and the 200 freestyle relay in 2:13.

Carpenter-Ross also won three individual races as he took first in the 50 freestyle (39.40), 50 backstroke (45.91) and 100 individual medley (1:41). He also teamed up with Conor Aadland, Andrew Jamison and Colin Brown to win the 100 medley relay (1:28) and 100 freestyle relay (1:20).

Dischinger joined Ella Bockelman, Cricket McIntire and Jesse Faulkner to win the 100 medley relay (1:35) for the 9-10 girls and later teamed up with Bockelman, McIntire and Shylah Dowell to win the 100 freestyle relay (1:25). Dischinger also won the 50 freestyle (39.61) and 100 individual medley (1:55).

Ella Dischinger swims the breaststroke Saturday in the Barracudas’ home opener and won four events in the 9-10 girls division.

Emma Prettyman captured three individual titles in the 50 freestyle (33.40), 50 butterfly (36.81) and 200 individual medley (3:18) to lead the 13-14 girls. Dana Mattison, Delanie Tally and Mable Graham later joined Emma to win the 200 freestyle relay (2:36).

On the boys side, Rice led the 13-14 boys as he won the 50 freestyle (28.77) and 50 backstroke (38.66). Rice also teamed up with Cole Brown, Drake Burdine and Cooper Hipp to win the 200 medley relay (2:40) and 200 freestyle relay (2:19).

Louisburg will try and make it two wins in a row this Saturday when it hosts the Golden Valley Swim Club from Clinton, Mo.

Prettyman signs to swim for Missouri State

Louisburg High School senior Maddie Prettyman’s love for swimming led her to a spot on a college roster as she signed to swim for Missouri State on Nov. 10. 

 

Maddie Prettyman loves the water.

In fact, there are times where the Louisburg High School senior considers it her second home. Prettyman has lived in the water for most of her young life and it has led to some big accomplishments.

However, there were none bigger than what happened on Nov. 10.

In front of family and friends at LHS, Prettyman signed her letter of intent to swim at Missouri State University – fulfilling a dream that has been several years in the making.

“I am super excited to be going to Missouri State,” Prettyman said. “To finally be signing with the college that I have always wanted to go to is truly amazing. I have always wanted to swim in college and for the last four years I have wanted to go to college there.”

It has been a different route for Prettyman to achieve her college dreams. Although most swimmers who go to college have an opportunity to swim for their high school, she didn’t haven’t that option with Louisburg not offering a program.

Prettyman currently swims for Empire KC, a club based in Lee’s Summit, Mo., and has competed with different teams throughout her young life.

“It has been really interesting for me to only be swimming with my club team year-round,” she said. “The first question I get asked by a college coach is about my high school team. I then have to tell them that Louisburg doesn’t have a swim team so I was never able to compete at a state meet. Almost everyone on my team has a high school season so I was one of the few people that stayed swimming club for the entire year.”

Prettyman may have not had an opportunity to swim for LHS, but she did begin her journey with the Louisburg Barracudas – a summer league team – when she began swimming at 7-years-old. She still swims at times with the Barracudas over the summer, but it was there where she took to the sport.

“I began my love of swimming when I started on the Louisburg Barracudas when I was 7,” Prettyman said “That summer, and the next, really made me realize that swimming was the best sport for me. It is both a team sport and an individual sport in the sense of the entire team winning meets, while it is on you to swim your best and get your best times. I love pushing myself to improve both in meets and during practice, and that is really what attracted the thought of swimming year round to me.

“My summer league coach, Kyle Farrington, was the person who actually suggested that I go and start to swim club during the winters and I will be forever grateful for that suggestion he made because since I was 8, it became my entire life. The social aspect and the intensity really just made me want to be able to swim all year.”

That move to the club level eventually led to a scholarship with a Division I program in Missouri State, and a Bears team that has had success in the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Bears have won 13 women’s conference championships, including last year where Missouri State won in an 832-point landslide victory under head coach Dave Collins. Under Collins, the Bears took home seven individual conference titles and had the MVC Swimmer of the Year on their roster

Success, and the Bears coaching staff, is what made it an easy choice for Prettyman.

“I immediately loved the program as soon as I got there,” Prettyman said. “David Collins and Chelsea Dirks-Ham (Missouri State assistant) are the coaches and they run a wonderful team. As soon as I got there, the entire team welcomed me and they all seemed to be really close friends.”

When Prettyman reports to Missouri State next season, she is planning on swimming the butterfly and backstroke – two of her most successful events.

However, she also knows it will take a lot of hard work and practice time to get where she wants to go.

“My goals for my college career include making top 16 at conference in the 100 butterfly and the 100 backstroke,” Prettyman said. “This is a lofty goal, but I believe that with the hard work and the support of my coaches, it is attainable.”
