Mahwah High School Senior Gets Rare 12th Varsity Letter

MAHWAH, NJ – Mahwah High School senior Taylor Tremblay entered an elite tier of school history this past year, officially earning her 12th varsity letter.

By competing on a varsity athletic team during every single consecutive season of her four-year high school career, Tremblay achieved a milestone that fewer than 20 student-athletes have reached in the history of Mahwah High School, a district spokeswoman said.

Tremblay played soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and lacrosse in the spring, said a spokesperson.

Not only that, she served as a team captain for each sport during her senior year.

“This accomplishment is so rare because of the dedication, commitment, and relentlessness required each and every day throughout the year including school vacations and holidays,” said Mahwah High School Director of Athletics Roger Pelletier.

He added, “It requires a mental and physical toughness that is astounding. The ability to stay healthy and perform at the level that Taylor did in three very different sports is a testament to all the qualities mentioned.”

In soccer, Tremblay earned Second Team All-League honors in the Big North Conference during both her junior and senior seasons, following an Honorable Mention nod as a sophomore.

As a basketball standout, she was selected as a First Team All-League player in the Big North Conference for three consecutive years from her sophomore through senior seasons. She also earned Honorable Mention All-County recognition in Bergen County during each of those three seasons, building on an Honorable Mention All-League selection during her freshman year.

In lacrosse, she capped off her career with a First Team All-League selection in the New Jersey Interscholastic Girls Lacrosse League (NJIGLL) and a Second Team All-County selection in Bergen County during her senior year. This followed Second Team All-League honors as a sophomore and junior, and a Third Team All-County honor as a sophomore.

According to the district, "Her signature athletic moment occurred during the 2026 basketball state tournament. In a high-profile state quarterfinal matchup against Pascack Valley, Tremblay took a pass in the left corner of the court and buried a jump shot with less than 1 second remaining on the clock to secure a dramatic one-point victory."

Where's She Headed?

Academically, she earned the district’s Minds in Motion Award during five of her 12 seasons, a distinction reserved for student-athletes who maintain High Honor Roll status while actively participating in a varsity sport.

Tremblay plans to attend the University of Connecticut and focus on her academic studies.

“Taylor is a tough and tenacious competitor who is harder on herself than her teammates,” Pelletier said. “She holds herself to a standard that sets an example for all others in the program. It has been a pleasure and privilege to watch her grow up and develop on our fields and court.”
