The BIS Barracudas represented BIS with excellence and sportsmanship and were able to win the “Overall Highest Points Team” Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the team that wins the most points throughout the competition. The second team trophy is the “Most Effective Team.” This trophy is awarded to the team which has the highest average points per student. Again, the BIS Barracudas won this award.
The AIS Invitational was a HUGE success where all students achieved positive outcomes and learnt valuable lessons for future swim meets.
Well done Barracudas!
