BASEBALL

The 13-6 team (9-4 in IAC) beat GP 4-1 in 8 innings and beat Bullis in the IAC finals.

Landon rallies late, then holds off Bullis for IAC baseball title (WaPo coverage; it’s good)

Congratulations!!!

GOLF

Coach Duquette:

The Landon Golf Team won its second consecutive Washington Metropolitan Golf Championship led by John Kalavritinos’s 3 under par 69 on the rain soaked  P.B. Dye Golf Course. Jeff Samit’s even par 72, West Shaw’s 75, Evan Katz’s 78 and Cole Gibson’s 79,  score of 373 enabled Landon to edge Georgetown Prep 375 by 2 shots and Gonzaga’s 375 by 3 shots. It was a great team effort beating two outstanding teams.

Landon was down by 6 strokes after nine and came roaring back to win the title. It was fitting that a giant rainbow appeared in the sky as we were heading home from the match. I am so proud of the team, Great Season!

With his 69 today, John Kalavritinos tied the school record for lowest scoring average of a 72.8, tied with Morgan Egloff 2015

John Kalavritinos leads Landon to Metros golf title

Congratulations!!!

BEAR TRACKS

SPRING SPORTS

Track TraxDeion Wellington, Coastal Carolina team— NCAA East Regionals May 26.

In response to last week’s Sunday Edition, a reader commented that it was nice to have a report on other sports. The Goal of BSN is to cover as many of Landon’s teams. Time and a technical incompetence limit more stories about all of the Bear efforts.

The Fall season includes a number of teams, which logistics limits the BSN staff from covering. Anyone who is willing to send scores, short reports or full Sports Illustrated-worthy 1,000 word essays would be welcomes and posted– with or without attribution.
