Sharks Parents,

It was a busy and successful weekend filled with Fallsmead traditions and fast swimming. The rain couldn't slow down the Sharks! On Saturday, the Sharks defeated the James Creek Jellyfish 418.5–342.5, with swimmers earning numerous All-Star times and breaking multiple team and pool records. Today, the Sharks kept the momentum going by taking 1st place at the Relay Carnival, with 7 Fallsmead relay teams finishing in 1st place.

Congratulations and best wishes to our graduating senior, Bella Trubiano! Go Terps
