1 - Student Athletes of the Month
Congratulations to our January Student Athlete’s of the Month!
Ben Long Zuo , Boys Swimming – Racked up one first, three second, one third, and one fourth place finish in wins against Whitman, Blair, and Richard Montgomery. Heading into February, Ben had the sixth fastest time in the 200 IM and the fifth fastest time in 100 breast in all of MCPS.
 
Parker Hill , Girls Basketball – Churchill has a 10 & 1 record since the new year, and Parker is a huge factor in this achievement. She is averaging nearly 13 PPG and has significantly increased her shooting percentage (57%) and passing over last year. In addition to her scoring, she is averaging over 2 assists, over 3 steals, 3+ blocks and 10+ rebounds per game. Parker has had some monster performances, included 13 points, 17 rebounds and 10 blocks vs Whitman, and 22 points and 16 rebounds vs BCC. She is ranked with the individuals leaders in 3 categories by the Washington Post, including 6th in the region with 57 blocks.
2 - Girls Basketball Team is Division Champs!
With a current record of 21-1, the Girls basketball team finished up the regular season as Division Champs and are the #1 seed for the Section playoffs! They have a first round bye in the playoffs and are at home on Tuesday, March 5, against the winner of the Einstein/WJ game, which will be played tonight. Stay tuned for game time and opponent!

On Saturday, February 9, 2019 at the University Club in DC WCHS we celebrated Boys’ Lacrosse Coach Jeff Fritz as he was inducted into the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Coach Fritz becomes the second MCPS coach to ever be inducted into this prestigious group. Way to go, Coach Fritz!

5 - Churchill Athletics Hall of Fame
It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the opening of nominations for the Winston Churchill Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2020. It has been almost 15 years since our last class was inducted in 2005. Nominations are open to everyone. Nominations for individual athletes ( graduation 2009 or prior ), school sponsored teams, coaches and community members are being collected and will be reviewed for selection and induction into the Hall of Fame. The deadline for nominations has been extended until April 1.
Click below to submit your nominations and spread the word to your family and friends. The induction ceremony and celebration events will be posted at a later date and will be used to help fund the Winston Churchill Athletics pro- gram and the gymnasium hallway upgrade to an actual Hall of Fame so that the names and accomplishments of all of our Hall of Famers can be shared with today’s students and provide inspiration to our entire Churchill community. So go nominate and spread the word! Go Dawgs! 
6 - Spring Sports Night
Spring Sports Night is March 12th at 7pm in the main gym! All parents of Spring athletes are encouraged to come hear from our Athletic Director, Jesse Smith, about the Spring sports season.
