Swimmers Gobble Up Top Places at BB Thankful Meet

It was a great weekend of swimming for our Barracudas at this season’s BB Thankful meet held at Raritan Valley Community College. Our 25 attending swimmers joined athletes from five other teams earning top places, a ton of personal bests, new team records, and more!

Of our 93 splashes, about 70% were either Personal Bests or first-ever swims; very impressive for this point in the season! Some standouts were Carter Bambara’s 100 Back (-8.98); Ty Hollar’s 200 IM (-14.01) and 1000 Free (-4:44.39); Ryan Juckett’s 100 Fly (-8.93) and 200 Free (-15.92); Jonathan Kern’s 200 IM (-16.13); Nathaniel Kern’s 1000 Free (-1:15.79) and 500 Free (-48.34); and Enzo Lombardo’s run of 100 Breast (-21.11), 100 Free (-19.14), 200 IM (-1:02.92); 50 Free (-8.24); and many more.

Our swimmers earned top places throughout the meet, including 18 Firsts by Rylee Bambara (100 Back, 100 Free, 50 Breast, 50 Fly); Reese Berg (200 IM); Ty Hollar (100 Breast, 200 IM, 50 Fly); Nathaniel Kern (100 Back, 100 Fly, 100 Free, 200 IM, 50 Free, 1000 Free, 500 Free); Michael Signorile (200 Back); and Hannah Wilson (200 Free, 1000 Free)!

A special congratulations to Ty Hollar (1000 Free, 1650 Free, 100 Back) and Nathaniel Kern (100 Free and 200 IM) for setting new NJB Team Records!

Great job everyone! Next up, the NYSA Holiday Classic in West Nyack.
