Hello Barracudas~
Yesterday we hosted the Upper County Dolphins for our first A Meet of the season. We knew that they are a very strong team so we were thrilled to be ahead in the scoring at half time, but the final score was Upper County 403.5, Westleigh 384.5. The Barracudas fought hard, earning many personal best times and a total of 47 All-Star Times. (more…)
Kenyon's National record setting relay team
Longtime Westleigh Barracuda and former coach, David Somers, swam in the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships for Kenyon College this March, helping the Lords win their unprecedented 30th consecutive national title. David placed 4th overall in the 50 Freestyle with a personal best time of 20.06 seconds. He also swam on two record-setting relays, the 200 Freestyle Relay and the 400 Freestyle Relay. David anchored the meet concluding 400 free relay, holding off an outside lane challenger for the win.
The Westleigh pool deck will be patrolled by many new coaches in 2009. It’s with great excitement that I introduce them to you.
