Last Saturday, the Ridgewood Barracudas welcomed a truly formidable opponent to Ridgewood Pool. Hailing from the western end of the county, the Piedmont Tsunamis supplied many challenging match ups for the Barracuda athletes. And although our blue & white secured an early lead, the Tsunamis were able to wash it away, providing Ridgewood with its first loss of the season. FINAL SCORE: RWB 2484.5, PST 2781.5. Below are some highlights from swim meet:
- Swimmer Attendance: RWB 210 swimmers vs. PST 195 swimmers
