In the final dual meet of 2024, the Bradford Barracudas swam to a 578-317 victory of the County YMCA of Erie.

“This meet was a great way to close out 2024 as we will use this momentum to carry us through the rest of the season,” stated coach Patrick Hollenbeck.

The meet was highlighted by Paxton Fontes and Nolan Irons, who qualified for the Western District Championship meet for the first time.

“We are starting our holiday training, which is the most challenging practices of the seasons, so it is still good to see strong swims by our team,” Hollenbeck said.

The team will be in action again on Jan. 4 when Franklin YMCA comes to town.
