YMCA swim team ranked 8th in SC

The Beaufort YMCA Aquatic Club, the Tigersharks, placed eighth in the state of South Carolina YMCA summer league championship on July 16-17, held in Newberry, S.C. The team — Hunter Johnson, Mary Barras, Joseph Barras, JP Barras, Tim Barras, Laura Barras, Maya Bostwick, Carsyn Bostwick, Sam McFee, Lexi Franzen, and Graham Ruff — had great individual performances overall. In particular, Laura Barras placed second in the 13-14 year old women’s age group,  while Joseph Barras placed first in the 9-10 year old boys age group. We are very proud of all the team’s accomplishments for the summer season, and look forward to the winter season, which will start September 12.
