Good evening Sharks Families!
What an incredible weekend for the Sharks!
We are proud to announce that the Sharks defeated the Meadowbrook Makos in Saturday's meet! This was an especially impressive victory, as Meadowbrook competes in a division above us. Our swimmers showed tremendous determination, toughness, and team spirit, and we could not be more proud of the effort put forth by everyone who contributed to this victory. The Sharks remain UNDEFEATED through week 3!!
