The Barracudas dominated the medley relays at the final meet of the season and came in second place overall. Head Coach was Sophie McCollum, and assistant coaches included Bellaire residents and current and former Barracudas swimmers Elisa Adams, Audrey Tedore, Katelynn Clay, Peyton Cantrell, Carver Hix, Teresa Cheng, Natalie Cheng, Reva Sinha, Kasen Burris, and Mackency Moreno.
