Barracuda Nation!

Hope everyone had an awesome time at the tie-dye party this morning! Huge thanks to Coach Sophia for spearheading this new Barracuda tradition, and to Coaches Adam, Olivia, Matthew, and Cooper for showing off their tie-dying expertise and holding down the fort. We'll let you know when t-shirts are ready for pick-up early next week before the Sheridan Beach meet.

A few things to share heading into the weekend, including: Senior Night on Tuesday, getting ready for post-season, and the end of season party.

Sheridan Beach — Tuesday, July 21st (Senior Night!)

Our final home meet of the season is Tuesday against Sheridan Beach — and it's Senior Night! This will be a close meet, so we'd love to see the full squad in attendance to close out our dual meet season, race hard, celebrate our graduating seniors, and enjoy the epic end-of-season staff show and party. More to come!
