BOAZ — The Cullman Swim Team’s regular season came to an abrupt close Thursday on the road against Boaz, as stormy conditions forced the Catfish and Barracudas to frantically clear the swimming deck before they could complete the longer-distance freestyle individual events and freestyle relays.

The unwelcome weather ultimately couldn’t keep the Cullman Swim Team out of the winner’s circle, though. The Catfish ended the shortened meet with 268 points, narrowly edging Boaz, which had 249.

Bennett Glasscock and Sawyer Trimble were able to win three individual events apiece before Thursday’s action ended prematurely.

Glasscock, 16, swam to first-place finishes in the 50-yard backstroke, 100-yard individual medley and 50-yard butterfly, while Trimble bested the 8-and-under boys field in the 100-yard IM, 25-yard breaststroke and 50-yard freestyle.

Seven other CST swimmers sported two wins each in the Catfish’s last dual meet of the summer.

Jonah Hilb was the top dog in the 9- to 10-year-old boys 100-yard IM and 50-yard butterfly, and Elijah Price was the boy to beat in the 11- to 12-year-old 100-yard IM and 50-yard backstroke.

Seth Campbell and Eric Pilcher represented the 13- to 14-year-old boys with their two-time triumphs. Campbell finished first in the 50-yard freestyle and backstroke, and Pilcher was victorious in the 100-yard IM and 50-yard breaststroke. Campbell also took second in the 50-yard butterfly.

Keelie Balch glided to first in the 9- to 10-year-old girls 50-yard freestyle and butterfly.

Anna Evans and Sarah Peel both repped the 11- to 12-year-old girls. Evans swept the 50-yard backstroke and butterfly, and Peel dominated the 50-yard freestyle and breaststroke. Evans was also second in the 100-yard IM.

The Catfish will now prepare for the District II Championship, which will be July 12-14 in Fort Payne, as well as the Alabama Recreation and Parks Association State Championship, which will be July 26-28 in Opelika.
