Hello Sharks families!

What an incredible way to close out the 2026 season! The Sharks scored 924 points to win the Divisionals meet, securing a 1st-place finish in the final Division M standings for the season. Way to go, Sharks!

The day was filled with fast swimming, personal bests, and nonstop cheering. In addition, 11 swimmers achieved 32 All-star times and there were 4 team records! Congratulations to all of our swimmers on an amazing finish to the season!

Our end-of-season banquet was the perfect way to celebrate a memorable summer, filled with team spirit, great food, and a wonderful slideshow. A heartfelt thank you to Christina Bucsa for organizing such a wonderful banquet, and Brandi Markham for creating the fantastic season slideshow.

A special congratulations to our 2026 senior, Bella Trubiano. We are so proud of you and wish you all the best in your next chapter!

It truly takes a village to make a successful season, and we are grateful to all of the parents and volunteers who gave their time and energy to make every meet and event possible. Thank you for everything you do to support the Sharks!

Looking ahead, the Fallsmead Sharks will be in Division L for the 2027 season (where we are seeded 3rd) alongside New Mark Commons, Montgomery Square, Plantations, North Creek, and Clopper Mill Kingsview. We can't wait to see what next season brings. Go Sharks!
