Sidwell teams and student athletes made their mark during an exciting Winter 2026 season.

SWIMMING & DIVING 

The swimming and diving program had a remarkable season with record-setting performances throughout the year. The girls’ team finished in second place in the DC State Athletic Association (DCSAA) Championship meet with multiple School records set throughout the meet, most notably in the 200-yard medley relay. 

The boys’ and girls’ teams achieved a combined team score that yielded a second place overall finish. Patrick Jiminez ’26 and Trevor Donley ’27 were named the MVPs of the boys’ meet. Jiminez won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100- yard butterfly races, while Donley captured the 200-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle races. 

Beau Amprey ’28 repeated as the DCSAA boys’ diving champion. This caps off a strong winter season that included a second place finish at the Washington Metropolitan Prep School Swimming and Diving League diving event as well. 

WRESTLING 

Wrestling battled throughout the season to make great strides as a program. Dylan Verma ’26 and Griffin Miller ’27 emerged as Mid- Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAC) Champions in their weight classes, while Leo Jackson ’28 was tabbed as an All-MAC selection. 

In the DCSAA Championship, Miller placed second in his 190-pound weight class. Jackson placed third at 175 pounds, while Hujja Moshood ’28 placed second in the heavyweight division. 

INDOOR TRACK & FIELD 

School records continued to pile up for the Quakers this winter as the program continues its stretch of success on the track. Osewe Ogada ’26 set a new School record in the 300-meter race with a time of 37.71 seconds at the Maroon and Black invite. Ogada would then go on to break that record at the DCSAA competition with a time of 36.83 seconds. 

Avery Foxworth ’29 placed third overall at the DCSAA competition in the 300-meter dash. Her finish of 40.20 seconds set a new School record, besting her personal record by 2 seconds. 

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL 

Girls’ basketball continued its dominance in the Independent School League (ISL) this season. They took down Bullis in the ISL Tournament Championship to capture the banner for the third consecutive year. Their season culminated with a runner-up finish in the DCSAA Tournament, dropping the championship game against St. John’s 61–57. 

Autumn Fleary ’26 will play for Team East in the 2026 McDonald’s All-American Game. As one of only 24 players in the country to make the team, Fleary is the fifth Sidwell Friends student in the last five years to be picked for the exhibition. 

BOYS’ BASKETBALL 

Sidwell Friends boys’ basketball cemented its status as MAC Champions for the fifth consecutive season. The team took the regular season crown and went on to defeat St. Andrew’s in the MAC Tournament Championship game 64–49. 

The Quakers went on another memorable run in the DCSAA Championship. With a half-court buzzer-beater by Caden Williams ’27 to overcome Jackson Reed in the semifinals, the program finished as runner-ups to St. John’s. 

Jalyn Collingwood ’26, Ian Condon ’27, and Jadah Washington ’28 were selected as All-MAC members.
