Another great day of racing for the Kraken at the Parsons Dolphins 🐬Invitational held at the Parsons Municipal Pool!

One thing that makes our team special is the strong relationship we've built with the Lebanon Swim Club. Each summer, Lebanon swimmers join the Kraken for the Tri-State season, and we were excited to have two of those athletes make the trip to compete alongside six Kraken swimmers yesterday.

With weather concerns in the forecast, many families made the understandable decision to stay home, but the swimmers who attended represented the team well. Kraken finished with 141 team points, earning 7th place overall, and celebrated another High Point Champion in the Boys 7–8 age group! 🏆

The team also recorded **10 new personal-best times**, a testament to the hard work our swimmers continue to put in at practice and competition.

Thank you to our swimmers for their effort, our families for their support, Coach Koleton for his leadership on deck, and our amazing sponsors who help make opportunities like this possible.

What a day for the Kraken Invitational! 🧡🐙🖤

With 169 registered swimmers and 400+ attendees, our home meet was an incredible success. 🏊🏼

Hosting a swim meet of this size takes an enormous amount of work, and every aspect of the event is powered by volunteers. We are incredibly grateful to our Kraken families who stepped up, worked hard, adapted to changing weather conditions 🌧️, and helped keep the meet running smoothly. Thanks to their efforts, we started on time, kept events moving efficiently, and helped eight Tri-State teams compete safely and get home earlier than anticipated.

Our swimmers also delivered an incredible performance in the pool. 🏆 Points are earned through both individual events and relays, with those points contributing toward individual high-point awards and the team's overall score. The Kraken earned 963 points, more than double the second-place team's 453 points, to claim a dominant home-meet victory! 🥇

A special thank you to our food truck vendors, Tombstone Beverage Company and Scoop It, who braved the rain to serve our attendees throughout the day.

And, a huge thank you to our sponsors for investing in our swimmers and helping make opportunities like this possible. Fair Acres Family YMCA, Home Pro, REALPRO Real Estate, MailboxIt Carthage, LLC, Southwest Missouri Bank, Community National Bank & Trust, Urban Pancake Co, Uskana Pizza, Cornerstone Family Dental, Galbraith Flooring, ESM Technologies and our Title Sponsor, Dr. Irving and Mrs. Betty LaFrancis.

Hosting a meet is truly a team effort, and this weekend showed exactly what the Kraken family is capable of when we work together. We couldn't be more proud of our swimmers, our volunteers, and our community. 🧡🖤
