BEARS REPEATING

Winter Sports

Over 10 years of following Bear sports, subject to a diminishing memory, this may be the first season where Landon athletes achieved the IAC Player of the Year Awards in three major sports-  

Lest we forget, a Bear was the IAC and WaPo soccer players of the year. Scored his first MLS goal before graduation from Landon  

The season is not complete for one Landon player 

Tyler has been honored with an invitation to the prestigious Capital Classic, the nation’s most legendary high school basketball All-American game (Saturday, April 29, 2023 at 2:00PM at the Events DC Entertainment & Sports Arena) [tickets]
