Fauquier High School (FHS) has had an exciting and successful year in sports, full of hard work, teamwork and exciting achievements. Athletes showed determination and school spirit in every game, making many memorable moments.
One big highlight of the year came from the swim team. This year, they had the largest number of swimmers qualified for state championships in FHS history. The journey to enter states includes many obstacles, such as high-level performances at regional meets against top competitors. The swim team finished the season united by determination and pride.
The track team had many memorable moments to remember this year. Senior Eli Savoie noted, “One of the biggest challenges this year many of my teammates got injured, so we had to balance it out while others were trying to stay healthy.”
Senior Joel Williams emphasized how his coaches impacted him, ” They really pushed us and made us focus on the fact that we could do things rather than dwelling on the fact that we hadn't yet.”
Junior standout Trey Thompson has made a huge impact this year on the basketball team, earning District Player of the Year, supporting the Falcons every step of the way. He also complimented his coaches, stating, “They brought the energy up and made sure we stayed focused and did what we needed to do.”
The boys' lacrosse team competed hard during the 2026 season. With the outstanding season they had, they finished fourth in the region with an overall record of 9-2.
Naima Rodriguez, Brian Bland and Sal Sorrentino all reached 100 Career wins in wrestling this season. This is a huge deal for the wrestlers, as it is a very difficult accomplishment that requires many hours of dedication and hard work.
The girls' soccer team is still competing in its spring 2026 season, with both the varsity and junior varsity squads. Currently, the varsity team has a 2-6 overall record, with the latest win a 2-1 victory over Millbrook.
