The season has flown by for the Riverwood Rays, who just finished their last dual meet of 2026—a fitting end to an unforgettable season.
Riverwood Rays 274 vs. Stonebridge 249
Individual Results and Improvement The Rays had a 32% improvement rate across the board, continuing a trend of steady progress throughout the summer. The team had four Triple Winners in the 7–18 age group and one Double Winner in the 6 & Under age group.
Congratultions to Triple Winners: Cindel Leahey, Bradley O’Brien, Logan Yarborough, and Cooper Yarborough! Also, congratulations to Double Winner: Allison Payton
Most Improved Swimmers include those who improved all of their times: McKenna Cole, Ellie Kray, Avery Perdue, David Strunsky, Caleb Uscio, Blake Dayhoff, and Adalynn Smith.
The team bounced back from a tough 2025 season (1-5 overall record) to finish 5-1 in 2026, winning the Division 5 Trophy and bringing it home. This milestone was a massive effort from the swimmers, coaches, TSA Reps, volunteers, and every family member who supported these swimmers this season.
The coaching staff is so proud of these kids and their accomplishments this year. The meet went by fast, and the swims were even faster. The team had a lot of changes to make
and a lot of hectic heats but everyone composed themselves well and made it through!
The score remained tight the entire meet, staying within 30 points until the Free Relays at the end of the meet. Needing at least two relay wins to clinch the victory, the Rays delivered. Relay teams dropped time across the board, stealing key races from Stonebridge early and cruising to the finish as the final relays took their victory laps.
