Barracuda Swim Results

By Somer Cox
Special to the Sentinel
    Eleven Baranof Barracuda swimmers absolutely conquered Kodiak this past weekend.
    That’s how I like to describe the success our swimmers had in the Alaska Age Group Championships, in spite of being one of the smallest teams at the very competitive meet. Although 37 Barracudas were qualified for this big Championship meet only 11 were able to go mostly due to the remote location of Kodiak.
    Eighteen teams from all over Alaska met in the awesomely built Kodiak swimming pool, and our own 11 swimmers really put Sitka on the map by swimming some extraordinary races.
    The Barracudas had nine teams ahead of them but that didn’t stop them from capturing the Most Points Per Swimmer Award. BBSC took 5th overall and five Barracudas took home High Point awards in their age divisions, which was the most among the teams that participated in this meet.
    I am very glad that these youngsters who work so hard every day early in the morning while most of the town is still sleeping and again in the afternoon did so good and got their awards in the end.
    Seeing our swimmers so happy, swimming well and showing sportsmanship in the meet just makes me extremely happy. I was very proud of them.
    Also, I cannot forget my wonderful parents who were so supportive and helpful throughout the whole meet. And I would like to thank all of our sponsors: Arrowhead Transfer, Stereo North, Pizza Express, Sitka Dance Studio, Colliver’s Shoes, Goldsmith Gallery, Yellow Jersey Cycle Shop, Sea Mart, Dock Shack Café, Titan Construction, Halibut Point Gas Station, AC Lakeside, Orion Sporting Goods and Fisherman’s Quay.
