It was back to the Helen P. Brown Natatorium Thursday night for the Bellmont Braves as they took on the Snider Panthers. The boys brought home a hard-fought victory, while the girls didn’t quite have enough firepower to stay with Snider.
Hudson Krull won the butterfly with his career-best time to highlight the Braves’ victory. He also won the backstroke with his season best.
Meanwhile, in the girls’ meet, Ella Hockemeyer set season bests in the 50 and the 100 Free for the Braves.
