Barracudas defeat Clinton in season opener

Emma Prettyman won five events for the Louisburg Barracudas last Saturday in Clinton, Mo., as the Barracudas defeated Golden Valley 276-187 in their season opener. 

 

CLINTON, Mo. – It may be a different year, but it was the same result for the Louisburg Barracuda swim team Saturday in Clinton, Mo.

Louisburg defeated the Golden Valley Swim Club, 276-187, in its season opener and continued its dominance of the South Suburban Swim League. The Barracudas haven’t lost a regular season meet since 2009, along with winning eight consecutive league titles.

The Barracudas had three swimmers win five first-place ribbons and two more that earned four first-place honors as well.

Avery Graham (15-and-over) and Emma Prettyman (11-12) led the girls side with five victories and Remington Rice (13-14) was the lone boy to have a perfect day. Ashley Branine (9-10) and Claire Brown (11-12) each won four events.

Graham won three individual races, including the 50-meter freestyle in 33.84 seconds, the 50 butterfly in 35.69 and 50 backstroke in 42.34.

She also got some help in her two relay events. Graham joined Anna Danciak, Kaitlyn Lewer and Melia Rice to win the 200-meter medley relay in 3 minutes and 1 second and the same team ended the meet with a victory in the 200 freestyle relay in 2:39.

Prettyman did much of the same in the 11-12 girls division. Prettyman won the 50 freestyle (36.90), 50 butterfly (38.53) and 200 individual medley (3:32).

In her relay events, Prettyman teamed up with Brown, Tehya Harvey and Abby Bradley to win the 200 freestyle relay (2:49) and 200 medley relay (3:05). Brown also won a pair of individual events of her own as she finished first in the 50 breaststroke (49.72) and 50 backstroke (45.74).

Rice also helped win a pair of relay races on the boys side. Rice joined Cole Brown, Jake Danciak and Drake Burdine to capture the 200 medley relay (3:41) and later teamed up with Cole, Burdine and William Goode to win the 200 freestyle relay (2:37).

In between those two races, Rice went on to finish first in the 50 freestyle (31.56), 50 butterfly (40.86) and 50 backstroke (47.43).

Branine also had a big day for the 9-10 girls as she took home four first-place ribbons.  She won the 50 freestyle (42.62) and 50 breaststroke (57.78).

She later helped Jesse Faulkner, Hannah Farrington and Lola Dubas win the 100 medley relay (1:46) and joined Faulkner, Madeline Hughes and Janie Harth to win the 100 freestyle relay (1:51).

The Barracudas will have their home opener this Saturday when they host Harrisonville (Mo.).

GR8! Barracudas win eighth-straight league title

Sabra Brueggen swims the butterfly during the South Suburban Swim League finals meet Saturday in Harrisonville, Mo. Brueggen was named the high-point champion for the 9-to 10-year-old age division and won five first-place ribbons.


HARRISONVILLE, Mo. – Make it eight in a row.

The Louisburg Barracudas swim team continued its dominance of the South Suburban Swim League on Saturday when it captured its eighth-consecutive league title in convincing fashion during the SSSL finals meet in Harrisonville, Mo. The Barracudas have also not lost a meet since 2009 and have won 43 in a row.

Louisburg racked up 633 team points and ran away from the rest of the field, including runner-up Harrisonville, which had 411 points. Woodson came in third with 385.

“Winning another title validates all of the hard work that the kids put in on a daily basis, but winning a league title isn’t the ultimate goal,” Louisburg coach Kyle Farrington said. “I want all of our swimmers to enjoy the sport first, learn technique next and learn to race hard. If we can do all of those things, titles will take care of themselves.

“It is pretty amazing that we have managed to amass so many wins in a row and maintain such a large team in such a small town. We have so much community support in a town that has proven that they love to swim. I am not sure why it has happened here in Louisburg, but we are almost the smallest town in the league and we have been the largest team for the last seven years.  That doesn’t happen without amazing support and buy-in from the community.”

The Barracudas also finished with several high-point winners as 13 swimmers received trophies following the meet.

Jesse Faulkner (8-and-under girls) Sabra Brueggen (9-10 girls), Emma Prettyman (11-12 girls) and Trae Johnsen (15-and-over boys) led the way as each were crowned league high-point champions.

Lola Dubas (8-U girls), Connor Aadland (8-U boys), Brayton Brueggen (11-12 boys) and Alex Prettyman (15-and-over boys) finished runner-up in their respective class. Claire Brown (9-10), Josiah McCaskill (9-10 boys), Mable Graham (11-12 girls), Sydney Keaton (13-14 girls) and Madelyn Prettyman (15-and-over girls) also left with a trophy as each took third in the high-point standings.

Sabra Brueggen experienced the most success for Louisburg as she won five league titles, including three individual events. Sabra won 50-yard butterfly in 37.94 seconds, the 50 backstroke in 37.64 and 100 individual medley in 1 minute and 25 seconds.

She also joined Ashley Branine, Brown and Megan Quinn to win the 100 medley relay (1:21) and 100 freestyle style relay (1:14). Brown also won a league crown in the 50 breaststroke (46.97).

Faulkner also had a big day as she helped Kasi Tune, Rachel Minor and Cricket McIntire to a win in the 100 medley relay (1:57), and also joined Dubas, Shylah Dowell and McIntire to victory in the 100 freestyle relay (1:44). Individually, she won a league crown in the 25 butterfly (31.27) and 25 backstroke (26.35).

Emma Prettyman won three events as she, along with Graham, Mary Grace McElyea and Delanie Tally, took first in the 200 medley relay (2:26). Emma also won a league title in 50 butterfly (34.25) and 200 individual medley (2:56).

Keaton won three events as well as she, Elizabeth Kratochvil, Avery Graham and Alayna Baker took first in the 200 medley relay (2:21) and 200 freestyle relay (2:03). Keaton also came in first in the 50 freestyle (29.80).

McCaskill had a big day for the boys. He won league titles in the 50 freestyle (34.58) and 50 breaststroke (48.50). He later helped William Goode, Josh Holtzen and Jay McCaskill to victory in the 100 freestyle relay (1:11).

It was another successful season for the Barracudas, but one Kyle Farrington, assistant coach Aimee Farrington and the other swimmers don’t take for granted. The Barracuda coaching staff will also have a different look next season as Aimee has decided to step down after more than a decade with the program.

“Aimee and I have been lucky to be a part of this team and community for the last 11 years,” Kyle said. “We feel blessed that we have been surrounded by such great swimmers, parents and board members for so long. Many coaches dream of having it as good as we have.”

The Louisburg Barracudas capped off a perfect regular season Saturday at the Louisburg Aquatic Center.

Louisburg took care of business as it defeated Harrisonville (Mo.) 423.5-113.5 to finish the South Suburban League regular season with a 4-0 mark. To go even further, the Barracudas haven’t lost a regular season meet since 2009.

The Barracudas won in dominating fashion thanks to several swimmers coming out on top as 10 Barracudas won at least four events.

Sabra Brueggen (8-and-under girls), Jay McCaskill (8-U boys), Weston Guetterman (11-12 boys), Trae Johnsen (13-14 boys) and Alex Prettyman (15-and-over boys) won five events to help the Barracudas come out on top.

Another five swimmers also had a strong day. Emma Prettyman (9-10 girls), Sydney Keaton (11-12 girls), Madelyn Prettyman (13-14 girls), Meagan Walker (15-and-over girls) and Brayton Brueggen (9-10 boys) each finished with four victories.

Alex Prettyman helped the 15-and-over boys as he won the 50 butterfly (32.19 seconds), 50 breaststroke (38.56) and 200 individual medley (2 minutes and 51 seconds). Alex also joined Christopher Dallimore, Ben Brummel and Christopher Tyson to win the 200 medley relay (2:21), while Alex, Dallimore, Brummel and Sam Bradley won the 200 freestyle relay (2:08).

Johnsen also had a big day for the Barracudas as he eased to victory in the 50 butterfly (34.47), 50 backstroke (33.22) and 200 individual medley (2:47). He also joined Davy Brock, Gus Faulkner and Gareth Baus to capture titles in the 200 medley (2:44) and 200 freestyle relays (2:21).

Jay McCaskill and the 8-and-under boys started strong in the relays as he, T.J. Munter, Josiah McCaskill and Ethan Sharp won the 100 medley (2:00) and ended the meet as Colton, Josiah, Munter and Jay came up victorious in the 100 freestyle relay (1:38)

Jay also won the 25 freestyle (21.40), 25 breaststroke (30.73) and 25 backstroke (28.32) to round out his five first place ribbons.

On the girls’ side, Brueggen swam away with her individual events in the 25 freestyle (18.35), 25 butterfly (20.75) and 100 individual medley (1:40). She later helped Megan Quinn, Ashley Branine and Claire Baker to win the 100 medley relay (1:41). Brueggen, Branine, Quinn and Hannah Farrington also won the 100 freestyle relay (1:36).

Barracudas swim away from Woodson

Louisburg’s Alex Prettyman gets off to a good start in the 50-meter breaststroke for the 15-and-over boys Saturday at the Louisburg Aquatic Center. The Barracudas defeated Woodson 342-188 to win its second straight meet of the season.


 

The last time the Louisburg Barracudas squared off with the Woodson Sharks was in last year’s South Suburban League finals in which the Barracudas edged the Sharks for the league crown by just 11 points.

It wasn’t quite as close this time around.

Louisburg hosted Woodson, a team out of Raytown, Mo., on Saturday and swam away with a 342-188 victory at the Louisburg Aquatic Center to win its second straight meet to start the season.

The Barracudas had four swimmers that won all five of their events and three others that picked up four victories.

Sabra Brueggen (8-and-under girls), Sydney Keaton (11-12 girls), Meagan Walker (15-and-over girls) and Weston Guetterman (11-12 boys) all captured five first-place ribbons. Emma Prettyman (9-10 girls), Trinity Moore (13-14 girls) and Josiah McCaskill (8-and-under boys) all took top honors four different times.

Brueggen had no problem in her three individual events as she won the 25-meter breaststroke (25.38 seconds), 25 backstroke (20.09) and 100 individual medley (1 minute, 38.15 seconds). She also joined Addy Stohs, Ashley Branine and Hannah Farrington to win the 100 medley relay, while Brueggen, Branine, Macie Baima and Farrington also won the 100 freestyle relay (1:48.12).
