Atoms Athletics Recap
Boys Basketball had the old saying of, "it's not how you start but how you finish." The team had an up and down first half of the season where they stood at 4-7 after a January 17 date with Edison, in which the Eagles could do no wrong in the game. After that game, it was different story as the Atoms hit the road to Philadelphia the next day and came back to Annandale with a win and from there, the Atoms started to roll. They won 10 of their final 12 games of the season, including a revenge game win over Edison to secure the number three seed in the district tournament. First round saw the Atoms roll over the Wolves of Justice and set up a rematch with Edison. The semifinal game was an exciting one but saw the Eagles prevail setting up a first round region game vs West Springfield. Missing a couple key players and a few with some injuries proved to be too much as the Spartans won a thrilling game in overtime to bring the Atoms season to an end.
Girls Basketball played hard and gritty all year after losing their best two players from last years team. The Atoms battled hard game in and game out and were competitive for many of their games. The Atoms started the season off with a win over Gar-Field. The Atoms would get back in the win column over the winter break in a Holiday Tournament at Mount Vernon. After losing round one vs Marshall, the Atoms came back strong in day 2 and 3 of the tournament, getting wins over Forest Park and Gar-Field to finish 5th place! The lone district win of the season came a week later vs Lewis but unfortunately fell short in a few games to get a second win. They played the number one seed Hayfield in the district tournament, who closed the Atoms out to bring the season to a close.
Gymnastics had a small team this year with a couple of the gymnasts battling injuries throughout. The Atoms worked hard everyday to improve their skills and it showed as they continued to earn personal scores with each meet. All four gymnasts are underclassman and return next year including two time region qualifier Kate Hanlen.
Indoor Track welcomed many newcomers to the team and saw personal best and personal records set during multiple meets throughout the season. The girls team is were paced by many underclassman but had several seniors who were great leaders and leave the team in a great hands. The boys team had a few region qualifiers and were highlighted by junior Jeremiah Nelson and his state runner up finish in the high jump.
Girls Wrestling completed a successful inaugural season with as many as 14 girls competing during the season. Several wrestlers won multiple matches during tournaments this year. The Atoms were led by Darling Saravia who won her weight class at the Luchadore Tournament at Lewis in January and followed that up as she became the first ever girls District Champion for Annandale in February at the National District Championships.
Boys Wrestling completed one of their best seasons since pre-COVID as they finished with a team record of 12-12. The Atoms had several wrestlers who won multiple matches across their tournaments and enjoyed success during their annual Morgantown trip. The Atoms improved throughout the season and were highlighted by multiple region qualifiers including district champion Isaac Readinger and runner up Jordy Lopez-Funes. Jordy would go on to the region meet and finish fourth to qualify for the VHSL state championship where he would finish 12th.
Swim/Dive had another successful season. The Atoms showed their swimming abilities, winning several of their meets throughout the season. The Atoms had multiple region qualifiers for both boys and girls team. Noah Popp (200 IM) and James Chilton (50 Free) led the Atoms in the district championship meet in their respective events. During the 200 Freestyle Relay, James Chilton qualified for the state meet with his split time. At the Occoquan Region meet, the 200IM Relay and 200 Freestyle Relay teams set school records on their way to qualifying for the state meet and join James (who was a member of both relay teams). All three had successful state meets, qualifying for the B Final of each event. The 200 Freestyle Relay (Noah Popp, James Chilton, Rickey Nguyen, and Finn Sample) broke their school record on the final swim of some of their high school careers.

We welcome any and all parents to volunteer but when parents of a particular sport work a game, a portion of concessions sales directly benefit that team.
