Congratulations to Varsity Field Hockey Coach, Cay Miller , on being selected as “Outstanding Field Hockey Coach of the Year” by the Pigskin Club of Washington, DC. Coach Miller was presented this award at the club's 78th Annual Awards Dinner on February 23rd, at the Washington Navy Yard Conference Center.

 

We couldn’t be more proud of Coach Miller for this well-deserved honor. Our community is so lucky to have such a dedicated, caring, and knowledgeable coach lead our young ladies on and off of the field hockey field.

The 2018 Gala was a success!  Thank you to all who came to Bar Louie to celebrate Churchill athletics and raise money for our student athletes. We are excited to report that we raised $25,573! Thank you to all who attended this fun event and to those who generously donated and couldn't attend. With all your support, we exceeded our goal. We also want to thank our sponsors who stepped up and showed their support to our teams. Our student athletes are very fortunate to have such a supportive community. Go Bulldogs!

The Varsity Wrestling Team has outdone themselves this year. The awards and medals just kept coming as they wrestled their way toward the end of the season.

Our boys team finished off a perfect season this past Saturday by winning our school's first state championship. Prior to States, we went 5-0 in dual meets, won the MCPS Division I Championship, the Metro Championship (first public school to win the boys title since 2000), and the 4A/3A West Regional Championship. Our team's top point scorers for the season were Steven Mendley (JR), Noah Rutberg (SO), Sanjay Wijesekera (SR), and Ian Mackey (SR).

Read about it in the Washington Post.

In the state diving competition last Friday, Quinn Westwood (SO) placed third and Robert Rizzo (JR) placed fourth.

Boys Varsity Basketball came to an end following a hard-fought second round playoff game against BCC. After a slow start to the season, the team began to gel and finished strong, winning the first round of playoffs against Einstein in a nail biter 74-73, and then losing against the number one seeded BCC team in the second round playoff game where Reed Moshyedi ended his high school basketball career by scoring 27 points. Congratulations to Coaches Blumenthal, Mast, and Williams on a great first year.  

Congratulations to Parker Hill and Steven Mendley on being our Ledo Pizza Student Athlete’s of the Month!

Steven , a 4.0 GPA student, helped lead the Churchill Boys Swim and Dive Team to three victories in January and an undefeated dual meet season. He won both the 100 free and 200 free against defending state champion Richard Montgomery and holds the fastest times in MCPS in the 100 and 200 free. Steven was also instrumental in leading the swim & dive team to the Metro Championship, the first since 1989.

Parker was named after a starting all 17 Basketball games on Varsity as a Freshman! Parker is essential to the success of both the team offense and defense. In January, Parker achieved two significant Churchill “firsts.” Against Wheaton, Parker recorded a first half double-double! Against division rival Whitman, Parker recorded a triple double, including 10 blocked shots! She is the first freshman to achieve either of these statistic accomplishments. With excellent passing, offensive efficiency, and a growing confidence in her ability to block shots, she has been an integral part of the Bulldogs’ success this season. Parker is a 4.0 student while at Churchill.

We’re so proud of both of you!
