SWEET VICTORY
Pulling for pies at annual Pumpkin 400

Man, woman and child took to the starting blocks for the annual Bellevue Club Pumpkin 400. Much more than a delicious desert, the coveted pumpkin pie becomes a symbol of Club supremacy in the 400-meter freestyle. First place in each age group enjoys the iconic autumn deserts topped with a heaping spoonful of bragging rights. Victory is sweet.

This past October, more than 150 Bellevue Club swimmers participated in the all-ages evening event.
