That’s a wrap

A group of four swimmers from the 240 swimmers on the Bellaire Barracudas swim team including (pictured, from left to right) Asher Smith, Thomas Bruner, Noah Selbst, and Clement Chen pose with their medals after swimming the Medley Relay, a tough event. These swimmers were part of the 7–8-year-old Barracudas Boys who qualified for the Southwest Aquatic League Finals meet at the Willow Pool. The teammates made a splash, coming in a fast finish in first place, scoring a whopping 11 points for the team. Head coach was Natalie Cheng, and assistant coaches included Bellaire residents and current and former Barracudas swimmers, Peyton Cantrell, Austin Byun, Kasen Burris-Richardson, Reva Sinha, Teresa Cheng, Tori Livingstone, Jason Deng, Rachel Serna, Hannah Turner, Carver Hix, Catherine Renshaw, and Katelynn Clay.
