Barracudas are the Champions!

Congratulations Barracudas!!

A wonderful win tonight against Eagle Watch, final score Barracudas 501, Eagle Watch 436 -- a 65 point victory over a tough team who were last year's county champions. Great swimming and alot of fun with parent relays and swimmer relays. You all showed that the Barracudas can't be beat!

Huge thank yous to our swimmers for working so hard this season to become the best they could be, to our coaches for long hours of putting together heat sheets, and for making practices and meets so much fun (we all especially liked the hip dance moves tonight by both Coach Johnny & Coach Hess), to our committee coordinators -- Bullpen for coraling our kids, Volunteering for making sure we always had people at the right place at the right time, Concessions for providing great food and drink and earning the most concession profits we've ever had, our Photographer for capturing these special moments, our Scorekeepers for keeping precise track of our points, our Office Team for entering, updating,label sticking, ribbon writing and anything else they were asked, our Banquet coordinator for planning a great party for all of us tomorrow night and to all of our parents for the countless (and I do mean countless) ways you make our swim team run so smoothly. Our successes this season are because of all of you!

We're so proud of our team for becoming this year's Cherokee County Champions and more importantly for showing such amazing team spirit on the road to that victory!

Reminder, there is no fun Friday tomorrow so enjoy sleeping in and we'll see everyone at the banquet tomorrow night for celebrations.
